vagabondette Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Add me to the newbie list. I've read a few NF articles off and on as people have linked me to them but it wasn't until I read one girl's success story today that I was really motivated to join the community. 3 weeks ago I weighed myself and I was the heaviest I have ever been (201). It was beyond depressing and though everyone says I don't look like I'm that big, I know I am. So I'm committed to making a change and I figured this would help. Since I weighed myself I have lost a few lbs but I have a loooooong way to go before I get into my goal jeans. I just turned 39 and my gift to myself for my 40th b-day will be a better body and a beach vacation with a hot new bikini to show it off. I have been traveling for the last 6 months and have gained quite a bit of weight as a result of having to eat out a lot so I am excited about getting back to my home on Friday and getting back to my normal eating patterns. I have joined the challenge and look forward to getting to know everyone. Link to comment

vagabondette Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi Tanktimus. I'm frustrated because usually I totally shed weight while traveling. That happened in the first part of my trip (lost 4" o my waist in a week) but the last month was italy, scotland and Ireland and I'm not a huge fan of going out in the rain so the lack of movement coupled with the food and pints in the pub killed me and I packed on the pounds. But, I will be home on Friday and will re-join the gym on Saturday and get my ass back in gear. I am an Adventurer (seemed appropriate on many levels. ). Thanks for the welcome! Link to comment
