sonja k Fitness Guru Posts: 222 sonja k I am a mother of one. I had always been somewhat underweight, but during my pregnancy gained and gained and gained. I could not control the urges to eat. I even ate foods that I HATE. Now, nearly three years after the birth of my DS, I am taking my life back; I'm reclaiming my health and vowing to not just be a mother to my son, a wife to my husband, but to be confident and feel attractive again. I welcome any help and encouragement.	# Posted: 20 Mar 2007 20:56 I cannot believe that I never ran across this site until now! I am so thrilled, because for the first time in my life, I recognize that I really have to do something with myself, my weight and my health. I was always underweight, couldn't keep a pound off if I glued it to my bottom. Then, I had our son and everything went to the other extreme. He'll be 3 at the end of April and my promise to get in shape by his first birthday, has come and goooooone. So, I'm finally ready. I am not going to starve myself, not going to beat myself up if I have a treat and I'm going to work out. I can use all and any encouragement. Cheers!
Jennie W Fitness Guru Posts: 477 Jennie W I am 29 years old and have grown passionate about fitness and health! Overall, I have lost and kept off a little over 40 pounds, and I have about 20 or so more that I would like to take off. This last year has been tough and distracting in many ways, and I am back to work now! I am revisiting Traineo, because this site and the people here were instrumental in helping me lose my original 40 pounds so I am back! I regret that because of time constraints I won't be able to be AS active in the forums as I used to, but I will certainly try to stay in there and reconnect with old friend as well as make new ones. My fitness goals remain the same as before as I haven't achieved them yet: *GOAL 1 = 140 lbs Target Date = 7/31/08 Date Met = TBD CURRENT FITNESS GOALS: Run a 5K, improve flexibility enough to do the splits, be able to do 50 pushups in a row, be able to do a pull-up, learn to do a hand stand and then hand stand pushups. :)	# Posted: 20 Mar 2007 22:25 Welcome Sonja, you have come across a great support group here! Good luck with your goals, and please let us know how we can encourage you.
