I’m Jumping In!
Hi Everyone…..COABusymom here!  I’m so glad I found this sight through another member (Jade).  Anyway…..after having four children, my last one being 8, I think it’s high time that I get serious and shed the unwanted pounds!!!  I always say I’m going to do it, but it results in failure.  Hopefully this time, with the help and support of everyone here, I can make it happen.

 How many pounds to I need to shed?  I really don’t know.  To tell you the truth, I haven’t jumped on the scale for 2 years.  It sits on my bathroom floor and I walk by it daily.  I guess, I’ll have to get my nerves up and just do it.  It’ll be scary, but I’ll do it…….in the morning. )

Now about myself……I love food, but I hate to cook.  I’m not extremely overweight.  I fit snuggly in a size 8, but standing tall,  I’m a whopping 5 feet.  I don’t like the way I look and it doesn’t help when my 8 year old says (looking at my tummy) are you going to have another baby?  I would like to get down to at least a 5, maybe 3 but that’s probably pushing it (my childbearing hips have ruined that thought).

I hope to get to know you all as we sail this journey together.  Your posts have inspired me already!!!  Thank you Leanne for creating this site!!  I will update you tomorrow when I jump on my scale.

Welcome–and you can do it! We’re here. I like to take a lot of shortcuts in cooking, so maybe we can all help each other.

I hate to cook too…that probably explains my fondness for eating out!

Oh, and you might want to step lightly onto the scale…I leanred the hard way that if you jump, the first numbers you see are wicked scary…

Welcome, COA! I hate cooking, too! My husband does all the cooking at our house. He likes it! It works for us because he is trying to lose weight, too, so he picks healthy choices and he is aware of the WW plan. Good luck.

Thanks for that advice Thumper. I will make sure I step on it lightly. It may take a while for me to open my eyes to see the damage.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!!
