Noob here.

My name is Danielle

I am a married mother of a 13 month old little girl.

In Feb my weight was 191 (i have never been that heavy) and I had it, I have since then only lost 5 pounds but I am happy to say that I have kept the 5 pounds off which is hard for me to do. I have always been up and down with my weight.

My goal is to get to 150 but I would love to be around 135-140. I am 186 right now.

I want to be able to play with my daughter and not be tired 5 min later. I want to wear all the cute clothes girls my age wear. I would like to look good for my husband as well. I weigh more then he does right now. I feel as though my weight causes problems in areas of our relationship, even though he says it doesn't.

My big problem is soda, I LOVE soda. I have cut back a ton. I used to drink only soda, no water, tea. Right now I drink 1 small bottle a day and drink water / tea. We do not bring junk food into the house and we eat a lot of chicken.

I am ready for this, no matter how long it takes.

Welcome to MFP! I recommend adding drink mix packs (i.e. Crystal Light) to a 16 fl. oz. of water to help you drink more water. Good luck!
