Hello fellow "losers"!

I am Katrina, I am a 32 year old stay at home mom to 3 wonderful kids. I have been married to my wonderful hubby for almost 10 years! Our oldest Daughter is 10 years old. When she was 2 we decided to start trying to have another baby and after trying for a very long time i was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I really started to pack on the pounds. I have never been really active and never watched what i was eating. When our daughter was 6.5 we were finally blessed with daughter #2 then 14 months later a Son!
Before i knew it i was over 350lbs :( Last year i tried to diet, but i quickly failed, i just didn't have enough self discipline.

On January 19th I went to my Dr for my yearly physical and was diagnosed with high blood pressure. It was 152/102. So i was put on Blood Pressure meds, and a Low Calorie/Low Sodium diet. I was told if i didn't change my lifestyle then i wouldn't see my grandkids.
Two and a half weeks later i'm doing really good! I'm having fun on MFP tracking all of my calories and sodium. I haven't had any soda since before the New Year. I have replaced all of my bread products with whole wheat, And have traded everything possible with the low sodium version.
I am using Biggest Loser Challenge Wii, Biggest Loser 30 day jump start, and Leslie Sansone's Walk Away The Pounds. I have a bad ankle that i am working to strengthen. When it gets stronger i plan to join a gym and really go hard core :)

I love making friends, so if you like, please add me as a friend so we can support and motivate each other!
