in Introduce Yourself
Hey all! I'm new here to myfitnesspal, and so far this place is great! I'm a happily married mother of two wonderful boys (three if you count the dog!) My oldest son is 5 yrs old and my youngest is 14 months. They keep me pretty busy and its a great help with losing this weight! I wish I could say that my weight is from my youngest baby, but alas its not! I still am carrying around weight I gained from my oldest! So now I am determined to get my body back! A lot of my reason is that I can keep up with my VERY energetic boys as they get older!
So I have 22 pounds left to lose and my goal is to lose 2 pounds a week (if i happen to lose more thats fine but my goal is for lifetime weight loss!) Glad for the support of people here and cant wait to fit into a bikini again!

    Welcome to the site! I just joined last week and love it. The tracking does become addicting. I have 3 young sons ( 7, 4 and 4 ) so I know what ya mean about using energy running after them, and even more to come in the future. Good luck on your journey!

    Welcome Welcome!
    I would definitely count the dog :P

    I know the feeling! Its a life change not just a quick weightloss fad. I am doing it the right way this time. Its amazing to find out how little you can actually eat without feeling hungry all the time!
