I fully intended to only be a lurker on this board, but I have

posted some here and there and figured I might as well introduce

myself.

I am a stay at home mom to 2 little boys ages 2 and 1. They keep me

very busy and it is a joy to be there mommy!

Now the background on why I am here. I never had a weight problem

until my early 20s. After much effort on figuring out why I

suddenly gained forty pounds over a 2 year period this is what I

figured out:

1. I had always been extremely active, and I also ate a lot. A

few years after getting out of highschool I married (which suddenly

we quit doing all of the active things we used to) and got an office

job. But I didn't change my eating habits to accomodate the fact

that I was moving a LOT less.

2. I went through a lot of emotional turmoil trying to get

pregnant - let's just say emotional eating!

3. about the time I decided to do something about that extra 40

pounds I did get pregnant, and then when my first son was 3 months

old I was pregnant again. (Funny after the first took 3 years to

conceive!) Luckily with both babies I gained only about 15 pounds

and lost that almost immediately.

Anyway, from that all time high of 170 I have come down to 148. I

am excited but a little nervous at this point. Why? Because I have

come this far before. Then people start noticing. They say how

great I look and then almost before I know it I am overeating

again. I am doing better with WW because I KNOW exactly how much I

should eat vs. how much I am eating. No guesswork. I did have a

small setback last week, but yesterday was a perfect WW day and I

fully intend to keep going.

Also I want to say how much I admire all of you who run races, etc.

Right now I have a " real " exercise routine for the first time in my

life. I feel so good about that.

Sorry this got so long.
