Just a quick intro. I'm Mandi, and I'm addicted to Carbs and Blogstalking. I blogstalk through the time I should be exercising, and I eat carbs the rest of the time. Okay, so that may be an exaggeration, but there is some truth in it, otherwise I wouldn't need y'all's help.
I have two babies, Matthew is almost 2 (where did that time go?!) and Abby is brand new (2 months). My husband is Burkely; he is a chiropractic student with big dreams and I support him 100%. He is working on losing weight as well, and he is better at it than I am; plus he is a guy and for some reason notices that his pants fit better within two days of trying, unlike me who 'tries' for two months and the scale moves the other direction. That's why I'm joining up here - I need someone to be accountable to besides him.
I was always 'fit' while growing up. My senior year of high school I weighed 180 lbs but wore a size 7 or 9, depending on the outfit. Now, 10 years later, I weigh 200 lbs and am pretty far from that size 7. I don't have a goal weight, but with my bone structure I would be happy (okay, ecstatic) with a size 10 or so. I'll get there eventually, if I can just put down the pasta/bread/cookies/etc. and the laptop, and get my tush on the eliptical machine.
Oh, we live in Texas - here temporarily for chiropractic school. I grew up in small town Utah and I really miss the mountains, so we'll be heading back that way when school is done. I actually went to high school with Sheena (kind of, she is a couple years younger than me). That must be how I found this blog originally - a link from hers, which was a link from my sisters.
Anyway, thanks for letting me join the club.

Welcome to our crazy mixed up club. I, too, spend far too much time blogging and putting off other things I should be doing (right now I should be studying for my BIG "group exercise" certification in 2 weeks).
I anxiously await your posts and am excited to hear about your upcoming weight loss.
Yea! Hi Mandi! Welcome to our club.
