Sort of new! Hi!

Hi, my name is Kristen. I am 28 years old and am in need of getting back to a healthy lifestyle. I joined this website around the holiday season of 2010 to keep up with my weight loss, but I found out in February that my fiance and I were expecting our first baby!! I had my son on November 3, and am ready to drop all this baby weight! My main motivator for losing weight is to be healthy for my son. I want to be able to keep up with him once he starts getting active and I plan on being in his life for a very long time! I am currently around 223 lbs and wearing a size 16. My goal is to be a size 6 by my wedding (September 20, 2013), but my fiance's sister is getting married this September and I would like to get back to at least a 10/12 by her wedding, so I'm not the only fat bridesmaid standing up for her! Vanity is a powerful reinforcement!! Thanks for listening to me, and hopefully someone will be able to help me if I have any questions or need some helpful ideas to keep me motivated! I also hope I can help others as well in their journeys to healthier lifestyles!

    Congratulations on your baby!!!

    I've had 3 babies, and after each one I gained and kept weight on. (My youngest son is 10 yrs old) Was 230 lbs at my heaviest in 2001. I lost 95 lbs from 2002-2003. I've actually gained back about 15-20 of those lbs in the last 5 yrs, so that's why I'm here. But i've definitely been in your shoes!

    Welcome and friend me if you want to!

    Just like Boingo1 I've have three children, so I've been through the post-pregnancy weight loss thing. You have some good goals with definitive dates to hold yourself to. You can do it! Friend me for support.
