    Hi, my name is Becky. I turned 30 today and live in the Chicagoland area with my husband and 3 daughters. Don't work right now and taking a break between undergrad and grad school. Realized I needed to make a change when I started have similar high blood pressure problems as the the preeclampsia I had during each of my pregnancies and climbing one small flight of stairs had me too winded to hold a conversation.

    I started out counting calories and working out every afternoon with Daily Burn, but now I'm just counting calories with the occasional walk. With the weather improving and some child care becoming more available in the coming weeks, I'm looking to work harder at eating at home and moving more.

    I know I'm not that far from 199, but I'm struggling to break past 209. Been here for about 3 weeks, so I know I need to focus, tighten up my weighing and logging, and make more of an effort to get off my butt.

    Height 5'5"
    SW 230 (January 1, 2016)
    CW 209
    GW 140

    It's great to meet all of you, and I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with you.
