Where are you?

Since I am kind of new here, I'd love it if you'd all let me know a bit about yourselves. I am also curious to see how many are on this board.
I am Rebecca, wife of 12.5 years to Tony, mom to four girls ages 10,7,3, and 3 mos. No, we are not going to keep trying for a boy. :)
I live in MN, and I am a stay-at-home mom.
I have no current hobbies other than trying to keep up with kids and the house.
I love to listen to music and read (when there is TIME). I used to take belly dancing and I loved it soooo much. I miss it terribly. :(
I came to this site for moral support as I attempt to lose 30 lbs. I have 24 to go. I've been visiting here since April.

Great Idea Rebecca!!
Hi, I'm sunflower, I live in Jersey with my DH.
Great idea Rebecca!
Well, I'm Miranda a co-cl here on the board.
I'm 37, and single mom to Matt who is going to be 16 at the end of the month! I live waaayyyy up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I work full-time at a University Research centre as their administrator, and I'm taking night classes towards my Public Relations Diploma. I also sit on my local political constiuency executive and do some volunteer work at a local youth shelter.
In my spare time (although as someone pointed out, who has spare time? LOL) I love, love, love to read! And of course spend time with my son, although he is less and less keen on that as he gets older!
I found this board quite a few years ago when I was trying to stop smoking and get healthier. I feel like I've done a good job of focusing on my health (I've been a non-smoker for a few years now), but I really need to make that effort to drop the 10-20 pounds I'm carrying. I dont' really have a weight loss goal, but I do know that I'd love to buy a pants that fit over my hips and fit my waist without extensive tailoring! LOL
I'm Gretchen from Casper, WY. I'm married to Rich for a loooong time. We have 4 kids: Tad 19, Noel 15, Layla 14, and Sidney 3.
I work for a small communications business
You may have read my other post but I will post here too!
I am Carey, 33 I live in WI DH is 36 and DS is 12 will be 13 in Aug. We also have a furbaby, yellow lab 5 years old. I have been married for 3 years but we have been together for 10. DH adopted DS after we got married.
I work for a Road Construction company in H/R and like Gretchen it is a great place to work with family. They are a great company and family is first.
DH and I have several hobbies, ATVing, fishing, gardening. I enjoy reading but really out of all of those things fishing and gardening are the only two we do a lot mainly because DS can do it with us.
I would really like to lose 10 more pounds but I will settle for 5 if need be. I have lost 16 pounds since last fall and was really on a plateau until I started walking a lot more and now my running program. It was a WONDERFUL feeling to put on my last years capri's this spring and realize they were WAY TOO BIG! That really gave me the motivation to work harder to get to my goal.
I started coming to ivillage many years ago then I switched jobs and was unable to us the internet, long story short I am back to a good place and can catch up once in a while.
Great to know all of you!
Carey
Well, I'm Vanessa. I

I'm Marie, I'm 32 (33 in August!) and live north of Dallas. I'm married to my sweetheart of 13 years and we have a girl who just turned 10 2 days ago.
I work for Medicare as a hearing analyst. I adjust denied claims to make them pay. I like my job, I like my coworkers. We bought our first house last year and I'm loving it. I have noticed however, that dust accumulates much quicker in a house than an apartment. We also have more room for our animals: a dachshund named Juniper, a German shepherd-Chow mix named Liesl, 2 shorthaired cats, Guenwyvhar and Gandalf, and a ferret named Willie.
I found iVillage waaaaay back when they had a free email service and this board, geez, about a year or so ago? I tend to lurk mostly, but I'll post every once in a while. I was once a svelte 127, which was perfect for my build, but after having my girl I got plumb lazy and put on almost 80 lbs. I'm tired of being fat and I want to be as athletic as I once was.
For my workouts I prefer running over anything else, but I'm also using free weights and a balance ball now, and soon I'll be throwing in some plyometrics to help increase my speed and strength. My goal is to do a triathlon by my 34th birthday and I'm starting by doing a 5k in August.
