Huh-don't know how this thread got past me! It's been around awhile, and I'm just seeing it now. I guess I'd better pay more attention!
My name is Carol.
I am 42. ( the oldest one here??? YIKES!)
I'm at that age - I'm old ...... I'm young-- just depends on who you ask!
I am married -- we have 3 kids. Boy-16, boy-13, and girl -10.
I teach preschool part time. But I am first and foremost a mom. I only started working a few years ago. Otherwise I have been a stay-at-home-mom.
Highest weight--200 ( maybe a little more-- I had a yucky scale, and didn't weigh myself too much)
Current weight -- 191.7 ( feel kind of dumb with the .7, but I just didn't want to round up to 192!!
)
I got the scare put into me a few years ago, when I had a physical, with the works. My cholesterol levels were disastrous. So, I did great for awhile, determined to improve my numbers through diet and exercise. I did a good job, but let up after I got re-checked. I didn't really gain much back, But I stopped being so diligent. And gradually, over the past year, the pounds have been creeping back up.
I never reached the weight I wanted. It felt so good to be about 180. I can't even believe I said that---- that's still so heavy! But I do that -- I stall out-- or feel so good, losing about 20 pounds, that I think I subconsciously feel like that's enough. I know that it's not. And I hope that WHEN ( not if!!) I get to that point this time, I will be able to stay focused, and stay in the game. I don't want, nor should I be satisfied with 180!
But anyway -- I have to get there first.
Is this one of those posts, that when you get done reading, you say "Too much information!!"????
I am such a blabbermouth!
