Back On Track Together
So...do you come here often?
Good morning!
There might be a thread like this so I am sorry if it is a repeat. I just thought it would be nice if everyone could share something about themselves. Since I am new to the group, I would love to meet the members who "gather" here. So here are some questions I came up with:
Where are you from?
What is your age?
What is your height?
How many lbs until you reach your goal weight?
Are you married? Have kids?
What is your occupation?
What are your hobbies?
What are your dreams?
I will start first...
Where are you from? I was born and raised in Northern NJ. I have lived in the same township all my life. I moved out of my parents house into a condo, one town over (same township). Then I bought my parents house so I have been in the same place forever! It is a wonderful house in which to raise children but I would not mind a different view at some point!
What is your age? I turned 40 last June.
What is your height? I am 5'10"
How many lbs until you reach your goal weight? Well, BEFORE this week, I was 35 lbs from goal. Today I am 38.
What is your family like? I have been married for 11 years. I have two children who are absolutely everything to me. Two sons; my oldest is 7 and my youngest - 20 months. I also have a 120-lb Black Lab/Great Dane mix named Max. He is 10. I am blessed with having the two most wonderful parents on the planet. They are my best friends although they now live in FL. I have two sisters who I am not very close with and rarely see. This was not always the case and it is a shame.
What is your occupation? I am a Business Systems Analyst. Although I feel very fortunate that I have a job, I absolutely detest my job. I dread going to work every day.
What are your hobbies? My children. I don'****ch TV but I love to read and surf the internet. I have zero social life!!
What are your dreams? I asked this question thinking it would be easy to answer. The sad thing is...I don't know what my dreams are. But I am still trying to figure it out!!
I look forward to hearing from you!!

too much info... IMO.. The facebook may be an issue.
as for some of your questions:
5"4' curretly close to 160lbs, but due to large frame and muscles - size 6-8. Old enough that I know I am perfect just the way I am. In maintance now. Not really need to lose or gain weight.
Probably be Ok with 5 lbs lost, but no more than that. If I get below 155.. I would need to increase calories. And do not like to be over 165lbs. (that's when the 6's are getting too tight).
Beside that - a happy person. Need more proteins.

I had no idea what you meant by "Facebook" issue until I visited the main message board.
I am unconcerned with divulging the information I shared above. As you can see, no names were mentioned, including my town and the names of my family. Or MY name, for that matter!
I like being open with people and I respect when people are open with me. There are ways to be safe about it.

I was born and raised in North Mississippi. I turned 52 this past December and I am 5'5" tall. I would like to lose 13 more pounds to get to my goal of 145. I regained 70 lbs. last year and took all of it back off except for 3 lbs yet. I have a 29th anniversary coming up in March. I have two wonderful Children, my eldest is a daughter who married about 1 1/2 years ago to wonderful young man and my youngest, a son, who is sixteen and awesome. I am a Broker Associate for a real estate firm and a Office Manager for a Construction company. My hobbies are my children. My passion use to be cooking and I guess I spend way to much time on the internet. My dreams are to one day get my tummy tuck and get my husband on a cruise. With so much trouble with the cruise lines, I am a shoe in to get my tummy tuck.
