Hello gang!
My name is Chris and I am just joining the board today. I am a 37 yr. old wife and mother of three children. Kate,11, Maddie,7, and baby Jackson, 4 months. I also co-manage a restaurant with my husband, on the Outer Banks of N.C.
I gained about 45 lbs with my baby boy and still haven't lost most of it.Ugh!! I'd like to blame it on my busy schedule or the fact that I'm around great food with the line of work I'm in. But, mostly, I just can't seem to get motivated this time around for some reason.
I look forward to getting to know you all and I'm sure I'll find some great inspiration here on the board. Just wanted to introduce myself a little and say howdy!
Hope everyone is having an awesome day!
Chris

Hey there Chris, and welcome to the board!


I'm sure working in the food industry brings some mega temptations with it! Think back to when you were losing weight after the first 2 children and how you managed them, the temptations, not the children, lol! We have a slogan here at the 30's board, baby steps!


Decide on one thing you're going to work on for week 1, then week 2 add another thing to the list. Start off nice and slowly, so you don't burnout during the first week!


Good Luck, you'll find a super supportive and encouraging community here :-)
