Hi everyone!

I am a 28 year-old wife and mother of 2 girls (5 and 2). I lost 70 pounds in my first year and a half on MFP, but kinda got lazy over the summer and gained 10 back. I am a teacher, so now that I'm back to school I feel I can get back into a routine and get back on track. My goals for September are:

1. Get back into an exercise routine at least 3x/wk.
2. Stay UNDER my calories most days.
3. Drink more water.
4. Watch my sodium intake.
5. Only weigh myself once per week as I am a scale addict.

Original Starting weight: 239
Current Weight: 182.5
Sept. Goal Weight: 175

So excited to go through this together!!!

    Well with week 1 I achieved SOME of my goals. My sodium was still kinda high and with starting back up to school (and my daughter starting kindergarten this week) I haven't made it to the gym yet. But I HAVE stayed under almost every day this week, drank (a bit) more water, and only weighed today...exactly 1 week from my initial weigh-in. The scale is a HUGE one for me, but it helped me not to stress out so much. And on the upside, DOWN 1.5 POUNDS TODAY!!! I was hoping for at least 2, but I'll take what I can get! Now I'm already planning my week for when I can make it to the gym.

    Minus 1.5 is super! I am not sure anyone is ever low on sodium - that is a tough one!
