Re-joining....

Well I am re-joining your board. I posted here well over a year ago and then my life sorta fell apart and a lot of things happened. I am getting life back on track again and am now trying to focus some of my time on me and losing this excess weight.

A little about me...I am Jen(just turned 32), mom to Katy(almost 8) and Christian(almost 5). Christian has special needs(Down Syndrome, a heart defect, a feeding tube). My husband and I just separated on March 17, 2004 and the kids and I went to live with my parents for about 5 months and then on our own from August 2004 till now. Things have settled down a lot since all this happened and life is getting back to normal(well as normal as it can get..LOL). I had lost 20 lbs in 2 wks due to the separation but then put it back on and more. I was up to 294 on Jan 1, 2005. I am now down to 282½ lbs(since this past friday), so that's a loss of 11½ lbs in 1½ months. I am hoping to continue to bring the weight down. I also joined TOPS(Taking Off POunds Sensibly) to help with this too and make me more accountable.

Anyhow I am not looking for pitty, just looking for support and encouragement. And I know you all understand about the significant weight loss and it's trials and tribulations.

So here I am once again.

Thanx so much.

I also see that you go to 3fatchicks.com from the ticker in your siggy line. Do you post on the 100lb club there too? I do now and then. I also like the TOPS one too.

Really? WOW...How did you find the ticker if you've never been there otherwise? I love their tickers the best.

I visit a few iVillage boards too. I visit the Dr Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss Solution and I am really hoping that iVillage will re-open the TOPS board(which has been discussed with the heads, just waiting to hear what the decision is).

Hi and welcome back, Jen (: Wow, sorry to hear about your year, but it sounds like you've got your head in a positive place, so how can weight loss be far behind? (;
