    My goal was to get down to 110, which I am happy to say I met. While I was working on it, I cared a lot less about that number and a lot more about inches and energy. I started guaging how I was doing based on those catagories. I'm stalled now unfortunately. Still trying to eat well and that's about it.

    I'm going to use this as my introduction as well. My name is Jennifer. I'll be 32 years old on Dec 17th. I was the chubby kid in middle school. High school I was in marching band and actually slimmed down, even though I still thought I was fat. Pff! I got pregnant at 18 years old and really didn't gain too much weight during pregnancy. I think maybe 26 pound? I lost most of it afterwards.

    It wasn't until later on after I had Matthew that I started to gain weight. I think married life was starting to get to me (all those big dinners as a family). I got married in 2002. In 2005 I decided to lose weight. I was up to 175 lbs. I got down to 137 lbs and then got pregnant with my second child. I lost most of it afterwards, but between our house flooding in 2006 and 2009 I had a lot of stress. I gained it all back and then some. My highest last year was 216.8. Granted I'm only 5'3". So that's a lot to pack on. On 11/1/12 I finally got back into the mentality that I NEEDED to do this. Since that day I have lost 63.2 pounds. I'm down to 148.4. My goal is to get to 140 lbs. I do MFP, I have a fitbit (since Jan 2013), and I watch my calories and fiber. I don't do extreme exercising, but I walk a lot. And I do Just Dance on the XBox Kinect. My husband has been very supportive of me and has lost 32 pounds along with me. I'm very proud of him. Though he's lucky becuase he's 6'1". Whew! But you can really tell he's lost weight in his face. My mother in law has lost over 50 pounds with us. I've inspired both of them.

    I've also inspired a lot of my friends. I've had several others thank me for the motivation that I've given them. It makes me proud to know I made a difference in someones life. I had planned on getting down to 140 lbs by the end of the year, but I don't think I'm going to hit that mark. Regardless, I am SUPER proud of all that I have accomplished. I feel so much better now!
