i've been obese most of my life and have made some progress on my own, but i am definitely excited to join the experts here on myfitnesspal to get to my goal weight (not my target weight, for the record) so my husband and i can start trying to conceive. i would love to be pregnant by May of 2012, so there's no time like the present to get started!

i'm currently doing a low-GI diet and it is working pretty well - have lost 7.2 pounds in a week! the other thing to know about me is that i had lap-band surgery in june of 2007, lost about 50 pounds and gained it all back. the 18ish pounds i've lost since june of last year were from having tons of willpower.

anyway, i'm SO excited to get going on here!
