Its great to have you on the site. Always good to have a active poster like yourself too. Starting off strong I see.

Well I figured I would make you a thread since you did not make a introduction thread. Sos I can ask you all kinds of questions and stuff.

SOOOOOO what brings the lovely lady to elite?

Well cliff notes version is I've been on fitness boards for I dunno.... 6 years I think I started. I was looking for Clen and started with good old Anabolic Review, haha.... I kind of went from board to board until I found my niche and over the years I experimented with alot of products. In 2003 I was 5'10 (well still am) and 148lbs. I loved that weight. I am not a body builder but I do love definition and I felt REALLY good, it was a good time in my life. I moved up the ranks on the boards with my husband and we had fun... I like boards, they're FUN. I could never keep females on the boards though... it got a bit lonely. So then I got married and had my son. I bounced back pretty quickly in weight and got down to around 165 running Clen and HIIT training. When I got pregnant with my daughter I was diagnosed with a chronic condition that requires a lifetime of medication including prednisone... so you can imagine what that and a pregnancy can do to a gal! After I delivered I felt disgusting and after having a fall out with a member of one of the boards and him telling me I shouldn't be on a fitness board I just walked away. Every month went by and I still maintained a higher weight and always excused it with "well I only delivered 1 month... 2 months ago"... and then her 1st birthday just passed and it was a hard point for me. I haven't stepped foot in a gym in 2 years and that's hard for me too. And I realized... I need this. I need to look at beautiful, fit women and I need to be strict and focus on my goals. I am not getting any younger and my self esteem has plummeted in the last year which has brought me to a dark place thinking of ED that I'd like to forget. I am REALLY putting myself out there so understand this isn't easy for me. But you asked I love my married life, I love my beautiful babies... and I am ok with being "OK". I am not going to be a fitness model or a competitor... I work long hours... but I've allowed my life to be complicated without being fit, and I LOVED the feeling of loving my body... so now it's teaching my brain to make it a priority... and sticking with it. So that is what brought me to EF.

Wow girl! Welcome to elite. Hopefully you will stick around and not feel lonely and what not. There are plenty of helpful, awesome, intelligent women on this board. And I don't think that I am the only one that will say we enjoy your company here, and we look forward to hearing more from you.

Awesome girl. You have nothing to worry about her on ef. If a single member ever gives you a problem you let me know. This goes for all the woman on this site. You are correct it is hard to keep woman but i will do all I can to do so.

Stick to the woman forum and the training forums though. There is no messing around or being a jerk allowed in these forums so you will never have a problem when posting on these forums. I mean there is never a need to go to any other forum but the woman/training/aas forums anyway.

Keep coming back and welcome to the family. All the ladies are so happy to have you. I know.
