Hi all. A couple years ago I was on the boards here a lot. I've been raw on and off for several years -- and used to have a detailed journal and before/after photos here...I guess they've been deleted?

This site was great for me in the past so I'm back now in a new phase of my life...

One of my big personal goals was to have a second child at age 41. I'm happy to say that I accomplished that in November! I had a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful baby girl.

The challenge now is that my post-partum diet--cooked and not the best choices--is dragging me down in so many ways. My weight is higher than it's ever been and it's affecting my health, my energy and my mood. I've got to make a change...This is not the way I want to feel. And my kids need a healthy and energetic mommy.

Anyone else facing the same thing and want to cheer eachother on? I'm pretty S.A.D. and sad :( about feeling so draggy and flabby.

Melissa? Me-LIS-sa/Melissa? - Melissa with the dark hair? Oh my...you had a baay-beee...omg that is so sweet! :D Congratulations to you and welcome back!!

Yeah, all the old journals went bye-bye when we switched over to the new forum.

Thanks everyone. It's good to be back on this path and to see some familiar faces here.

Rawkinlocs, nice to see you are still going strong;) And also I see that you DID move to Washington State as you had hoped to do. That's fabulous. How do you like it there so far? Hope your beautiful family is well.

A question: Was the old journal content archived somewhere or just tossed? Gee, I really wish I could have received an email "heads up" before that happened so I could have saved some of those entries :(

Oh well. Onwards towards newer and even better things I'm hoping!
