When you started posting on the board: Off and on for the last year, just like my dieting. LOL

Goals & Desires for your fitness journey: I wish to lose a total of 80 lbs and get myself into a toned body, being centered through yoga and feel overall health benefits

Some personal and family info: I'm an only child, have a great support system through friends and a large family, I'm 1/2 greek, 1/2 french, personally, I am divorced and sadly with no significant other. So all I have to do is concentrate on me...how gloriously selfish!!! hehe

I am a SAHM full time and raise four wonderful, smart kiddos. My husband and I just started our own business selling medical supplies on the internet and it is finally coming together. I teach fitness classes at Bally and do some personal training now and then.

My long term goals are to lose the rest of the weight from baby #4. I have about 30#s to go and it is been a long journey getting here. I am finally taking it seriously and reaping the rewards of my hard effort. Overall, I want to become healthier and happier with myself. I am my worst critic.

I found the board just surfing looking for some support and encouragement. I have been around since April. I have to say this is one of the most supportive boards I have visited and will be hanging around for some time.

Here is my blurb:

My name is Jean Anne and I live in rural New Brunswick Canada. I am a Grade Six Teacher. I teach Science, Social Studies, Math and Language Arts all in French to English speaking students. I have been married for almost 9 years to DH, Richard and we have a daughter, Jenna who is 4 years old.

I started posting to the board in May 2003 after lurking for awhile. I have 70 lbs to lose but am looking to lose anything at this point. My main motivation is to be healthy and to love a long active life with my daughter. I also want to be a good role model for her- healthy eating. DH is a Type 1 diabetic since age 6 so we can all benefit from healthy eating.

* Location & Age

My name is Kim from Cape Breton, Canada. I am 38yrs old.

* When you started posting on the board

I started posting...gosh I can't really remember when exactly....but around Jan 2004. I found this board when I was looking around ivillage. I was looking for some motivation and inspiration and I found it at this board. I tried a few others but I found this board to be the most supportive and friendly. I felt right at home here, so I decided to stay. I have been posting daily ever since.

* Goals & Desires for your fitness journey

As I age I feel more vunerable about my health. I want to grow old gracefully and with dignity and I want to see my childrens children. To do this I have to be commited to a life of healthy eating and physical activity. I started on this fitness journey in 1999 but everyday I have to remind myself that this is a life time commitment-- I have to eat healthy and stay physically active EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! This board helps me with this commitment.



* Some personal and family info

I have been married forever, LOL since l988 to my high school sweetheart. We have a ds who is 14 and a dd who is 10. I also have a dog "Sandy" and that's it.

Thanks LH, your info is up on the site now. I have to say I don't know any other Greek/French girls with such an Irish name ;-)


I spent a lot of time in MA in my teens- around Quincy/Milton and of course 'Southie'! I haven't been there in years!

Four children...you are a busy SAHM- who teaches fitness classes, does some personal training AND has a business with DH- as I said- BUSY!


I'm so glad you found us, and find us all so supportive- I agree!

Thanks Jean Anne, your info is now on the website ;-)


I'm a teacher too, but w/the younger ones (3-6 years olds) in a Montessori school. How long have you been teaching? Have you always had the same grade/subjects?

Some of the things you might want to include are-

Location & Age

When you started posting on the board

Goals & Desires for your fitness journey

Some personal and family info

OK, more about me...

I'm 29 (30 on May 30th). I live just off of Lake Erie in Pennsylvania. I started posting here just before Easter 04. (WOW... hasn't even been 2 months yet. Feels like I've known you gals all my life!! :-)!)

My MAIN goal, and my reason for joining this site, was to find the support I needed to reach my goal that I had set to reach before my 30th birthday. TO weight 135 again!! I had the last darn 15 pounds to lose for the last year or so and I was getting soo frustrated losing 3, gaining 3, losing 3, gaining 3.. darnit.. I wanted to lose the 15 by MAY 30TH!! And well, after the most WONDERFUL support and praises and ideas and journals, I finally found my "stick-to-it-ness" (as Steffy calls it..lol) and I am down to 138. I've got 3 pounds to go till my 30 goal (BUT, if I don't get any closer, thats ok.. I am SOOOO happy with how far I've come and still can't believe it... when I wake up in the morning and run my hand across my belly, I am still amazed at how much less of me there is...) DBF picked me up the other day and almost threw me in the air.. he said "Holy cow.. you feel so much lighter.. I can even pick you up with one hand now.." and he did and swong me from side to side like I was a baby doll...lol silly bean! Made me feel good!! My LONG TERM goal is to get down to 125 by the end of the summer.. no dates set for that... and if I don't make it, no sweat. Like I said, I am a HAPPY GIRL!! But I'd have to lose 13 pounds to get there... that's easy enough, right?? lol

Personal info? Hmmmm... well, I have a challenging career as a Forensic Scientist.. each day I come to work I think "Now I've seen it all..." Until I see something different the next day... I live at home with my wonderful boyfriend, we've just passed our 6 month anniversary!! After starting out running in this relationship, we both decided we wanted it to work the right way, so we are trying hard to take our time and get to know one another... and we both hope to get married and start a family together someday!! If we aren't sitting at home during our off hours (which we are RARELY sitting at home) I am in my golf league having a blast or I am at one of his sporting events being the biggest fan I can be!! I just love rooting him on!! I have my dog, Skyler, the love of my life, unfortunately, I have to share her with my ex. She's just soo terriffic that neither one of us could give her up... but it works. I miss her lots. NO "real" kids for me yet, but one day soon I hope. I'm ready!! I am very close to my mom and dad... they live too far away from me, but I talk to them nearly everyday. And I have one whole brother, and 2 half sisters and a half brother. We all get along very well, thankfully... and well, my DBF's family.. is VERY MUCH my family here where I live. Having him and them in my life has really changed me for the better. It makes my world, here in Erie, a place where I like to call home. For that I am thankful!

I think that's about it.. edit any of that you wish.. I know my spelling ang typos are horrible!! lol
