Hello
I'm a new mom with a stressful day time job and i'm also planning a wedding...so believe me i know what stress is...however i'm ready to change how i deal with my stress and shed a few pounds in the process. My goal is to sucessfully lose 50 pounds by May 2012. I believe this is a good start to discipline myself to a healthier furture...

Open to any positive advice

    Um...can I just say, your family is adorable. I really want to squeeze that little tiny!!

    Best advice I can give is every little bit helps! I have friends who post their exercise and sometimes it's only a brisk walk for 10 minutes or climbing stairs to go to a different level bathroom in your building. If you can't block off a chunk of time during your day, those quick moments will add up!

    Good luck to you and congratulations on the new baby and your future wedding! I have stress issues too and I can tell you that exercising makes an incredible difference. If not exercising, yoga is not as vigorous but is pretty awesome as well. :)

    Welcome to MFP! Congrats on the little one and the wedding. Take your time going through the website, it is great! We're in the same boat with the 50lbs - just remember slow and steady. You will do great!
