in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone!

I'm new to MyFitnessPal. I'm 25 years old, married, and a mother of a two year old.

Recently, I went to the doctor and was told I am borderline overweight. I'm only 5'1" and currently 160 lbs (Just Friday, I was 165). Last Friday, I really started watching what I ate and beginning to exercise.

Since my Freshman year in college (when mommy's yummy yet healthy cooking was no longer available) I have been gaining weight uncontrolably. I come from a generally overweight family and looking at the health problems they are challenged with, I've decided to not let that be me.

So, here I am. I've set some goals for my self and I'm ready to change for a healthier, skinnier me!!

Thanks!!
~Jessica
