I'm so glad to be part of this group. I've been trying to lose weight God's way for 3 years now. I have such a hard time treating my body as His temple. Thank you for the opportunity for support from fellow believers.
I am 27 from Wisconsin. I have been overweight since my teens because of PCOS and insulin-resistance. I am married to a man who is bipolar and have 2 step sons from his first marriage.
Some of the things that I like doing to exercise: rollerblading, geocaching/letterboxing, running with my dog, and treadmill tempo runs. I like eating everything! My favorite "healthy" foods are a 3-point personal pizza (lite Flat-outs, home made sauce, 14 turkey pepperoni, and 1 oz lite mozz cheese), peaches, and skim milk. My biggest down falls/binge foods are ice cream, frozen pizza, and pies/crisps. I don't get a lot of weightloss support at home, as my husband and children do not have much capacity to look beyond themselves yet (we're working on it and it's getting better).
I get most of my support from my extended family who live 3 hours away. We talk weekly and between the 4 women in my family that I'm in touch with, they have lost 165 lbs and counting (my sis wants to lose 5 more and my aunt wants 10 more). Once I lose my 60 lbs, we're all going away for a weekend. Yay! They have lost their weight using weightwatchers, but I intend to do carb and calorie counting. It has worked for me in the past, I'll do it again. I've been a Christian since I was 21, although I was raised in the church. My favorite verse is Psalm 37:4. :-D
So, that's my intro. thank you again for this awesome group.
