in Introduce Yourself
Hello
My name is Katie I'm 26 and live near Portland, Oregon.
I am a mother to a 1.5 year old little boy who is the love of my life!!
I'm here to just stay motivated and make new friends with whom I can keep motivated as well.
I've always been the bigger girl with the skinny friends, I'm starting out at 225 with a current weight of 212 with the hopes to see 170 on my scale again and to go from there.
I once made it there 4 years ago before I met the man of my dreams and within that time period and the birth of my first child I since have put the weight back on. I still have those goals jeans in the closet.
So with that said I am happy to be here and hope to meet some great people.
If you'd like to get in touch I have MSN Messenger & myspace. Feel free to get those links from me.
Katie

    Hey there! My highest was close to yours- 234, and now I'm at 179.5!! Whoo hoo. I stil want to lose 25 more, but I wanted to reach out to you to see if my success might give you hope.
    I also have a 1 yr old (13 mos), and it is hard to make time for myself. But I do it, and you can too!

    GOOD LUCK!

    PS. my husband LOVED the name Hank. I wanted to name our son after my dad, so we bought a dog and he named HIM Hank instead. All our friends/family know the story and think it's very funny.
    Anyway- great name choice. My hubby said Hank sounds like a nice guy that is reliable and that everyone would want to befriend.
