Hi, Amy. Glad to meet you. You are at the right place and will love it, I'm new and already addicted! You aren't too far from me, I'm in PA. I know what you mean about once a marine,always a marine. My sisters dh retired from the marines not long ago.Congrats on the weight loss, that's great! I want to lose weight too, what are you doing? Got any good diet plans,etc? Oh, you didn't mention what type of home business you do?I know what you mean about raising kids today, I have 4 and it's not easy.I feel blessed because so far so good with mine. Look forward to getting to know you better.
I lost the weight by counting calories with fitday and walking every night. It helps too to have a weight loss buddy to keep eachother motivated.
As for the business; my daughter was born with a rare birth defect so I did up a slideshow montage to explain to family and friends what we went through. Well it became a hit and over time I was doing them for free for family and friends. Customizing videos (i.e. fav animals, sports, color schemes, etc.) and now I do them for just about every occasion (Birth Announcements, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, pets, hobbies, video letter to spouse over seas..)
the list is endless! I love it, it's the gift that keeps on giving

It's been a while since I did an intro here; I am the mom of 3 children ages 15, 11 and 5. I'm a homemaker; former teacher; Notre Dame football fan. I like reading and cooking, and reading cookbooks!
Amy, that sounds really cool! Good luck with your business! I'm sure you will do well! I live in Mt.Pleasant,PA. It's close to Pittsburgh. I grew up watching the Steelers with my dad. We are 15mins. away from Latrobe[ where the Steelers practice] and take our boys to watch them, when we can. So, I'm always a faithful fan! If you don't mind my asking what kind of birth defect does your dd have? I never herd of fit day, is it like weight watchers? I am going to start walking now that my kids are back in school. Trying to watch what I eat but I don't eat alot of junk, just too much breads. I don't like much meat and love my pasta,pizza,etc. That's where I need help. I am drinking alot of water. I live in a small town in the country, not many neighbors. I'm a stay at home mom and all my friends work, so a buddy is hard. I did get my mother-in-law walking with me but she quit after a few times due to back problems. Anyhow, any tips you have let me know.
Amy, welcome to FC! I know what you mean by organized. I have to have my life organized just to survive! I look forward to getting to know you better in the future. Jump in and make yourself at home here.
