Hi everyone 
I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Melissa. I am a 32 year old female. I came to this forum looking for some support and to get some great outlooks and tips on weight loss. I have gained 45 pounds in a year and half. I plunged down to a size 7-8 in 2006 because of a stressful situation in my marriage. I was very happy with my weight but it was that weight because all I did was smoke and drink coffee, not a very good diet but I was very stressed out and with me stress makes me physically sick and eating makes it worse. My husband and I worked things out and still are everyday. When I am happy I EAT! ..lol, not very good, I know. I love to celebrate life with food. As a teen I was always small. I was a size 5-6 when I met my husband. When I had children is when I gained weight. With my son I gained more than 80 pounds. After my first son I was into a size 16 and lost all the weight and was into a size 9-10 which I felt comfy in. I am 5'6 and like to weigh about 140 pounds which is a size 8-9 for me. I dont want to be skinny ever, just healthy. With my 2nd son Andrew I gained almost 60. I was a size 14 and weighed 180 pounds for a few years. Than this all happened in my marriage and boom, now I am a size 14-16 and weigh about 185-190. I have invested in a great treadmill and walk 4 days a week a mile and half and bought a strengthing system as well to lift weights,zone on parts of my body. I drink Slimfast 5 days a week and eat small dinners. Two days a week I allow myself to have a dessert and eat 3 small meals a day. I am going back to the doctors as well bcause I belive my Thyroid is under again. I have been on Thyroid pills for 2 years now and I am havng a hard time losing weight even though I am working out. Thanks for reading and I look foward to losing the weight and maybe helping a new friend or two and some friends to help me!
