Now yer talkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey wildcats, my names Angela.

I am a beekeeper that lives in pennslyvania. I am married to the most wonderful man Scott. He is currently training in Mississippi to be deployed to Iraq in January. I miss him alot.

Any way, I've always been overweight in some form or another. Mainly because i've used food as a comforter instead as a fuel. Over the past two years I've gained almost 60 lbs. I've blamed it on quitting smoking but I think I'm just used to eating away my problems.

I'm here because I want to be different, not just thinner but heathier. I want eating right and exercising to come naturally to me. And I must say, I've come to the right place, the support here is overwhemling and has kept me on such good track. Thanks guys!

We are so glad you are here!
A bee keeper? Cool! I bet that would be interesting!
You can do this, and reach your goals, I am now in a place where I love to workout and eat healthy. Just takes time and patience and one day at a time.

Ditto Kama! Glad to have you with us Angela!

Just wanted to move this thread up in case there were any Cats out there that would like to post their stories, but didn't know where to do it.

Hello to all of you fierce WildCats!! I am thrilled to have found this site and really believe I will be successful this time in my weight loss.
I am a single MOM of 5 children, 3 are still at home. I also have a 1 year old granddaughter (I was a child bride-LOL). I am a nurse and manage a respiratory company, where I work anywhere from 50-60 hours a week. I have had weight issues since the birth of my first son. About 10 years ago I lost 100# (through diet and exercise). I vowed I would never gain the weight back-and yet here I am! Plus, I added a few pounds-lovely! I am at my heaviest at this point-it just disgusts me. I am a stress eater. The other thing about me is that I like all kinds of food. It's not just sweets, etc. I am also guilty of the drive-through too often. I have stopped doing that. I am pretty sure I have been suffering from mild depression for the past year, which hasn't helped. My grandmother passed away after a long fight with cancer. She was my world-I was very involved in her care during the illness and after she died I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. Everything had revolved around her. So, I did nothing. I worked-came home and only did enough to get by. To be truthful, I did a lot of sitting on the couch, watching tv . I literally lost my zest for life. I was already overweight during all of this, but gained more-not even realizing it (just never got on the scale)!!
I know I can NOT go on like this. I know my health is at stake. I am ready to take control. Very inspired to be on the WildCat team. I have really enjoyed reading blogs and seeing those impressive weight loss tickers!! I am so ready to get healthy and be thin! Thank you again Anj for your thoughtfullness and support. Looking forward to dropping pounds for the WildCats and for me too!!!

Renee, thank you so much for sharing! I can't believe you are a single mother of 5 children and a grandmother to boot! You are one amazing woman I am so sorry to hear about your grandma as well. Use this as a way to get healthy for you so you can be around to make that much of an impact on YOUR grandchild's life as well. Glad to have you with us and I think you will find the thoughfullness and support from the other Wildcats to match (if not outdo) mine.
