Howdy y'all! My name is Emily. My original goal was to lose 20lbs. I have lost 6, so I guess my new goal is to lose 14! This is NOT the first time in my life that I have lost weight, I spent most of my teens and early 20s hovering around 100lbs, but this WILL BE the first time I'm losing it in a healthy way that doesn't include starving myself or purging.
I am 5'2 and currently weigh 134. I started at 140. I will be happy when I break into the 120s, excited at 125, and thrilled at 120. According to my doctor, I am not overweight, but I know that I am not at my ideal weight, and I am CLOSE to the overweight mark in the BMI calculator. I would rather become lean and tone with an ideal weight than play with fire at the high point of the BMI range.
I want to be a healthy example for my baby boy (15 months old), and I want to support my husband in his weightloss goals, as well.
