I've got a bad habit of getting irritated at work knowing damned well I can't talk about what happens at work due to patient confidentiality and the fact that few, including my husband, understand my job.

I'm here because I used to be a lard ass and didn't want to pass out while walking down the aisle, but since that's done and over with I'd like to lose the remaining 15-ish pounds necessary to get me into a healthy BMI and eventually I'll rely on this website to get me into tip top pre and post pregnancy shape.

I started at 222 pounds and am now down to 145 pounds, hoping to break into the 130's by October.  As soon as I find human resources at work (tomorrow!) I'll be signing up for the fitness centre.
