New...wanting a fresh start

pawprint061

Hi all. I'm new. I just joined this week. I'm 23. I had my first child a year ago June 4th. I need to get the weight off. I'm over weight from what the numbers say... I feel it too. I miss my pre prego body and I want to get back to something that's better than where I am now. I've been cutting back my calories and portions. I started working out again this week and I'm setting a small goal first, but i do have a longer goal. But I would be happy with ten pounds right now. I'm measuring and I'm weighing. I'm drinking lot's of water and I've cut out all fast food and pop. I'm bringing in more veggies and I even switched to wheat bread... It would be great to meet some people who are going through this also. I would like some people to help me stay on track... Wish me luck......

Welcome to MFP!:flowerforyou:
Having a little one definately makes things more challenging - finding time to exercise can be difficult. But getting healthy is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. My son is 2&1/2 - my goal is to lose 100lbs, and hope that he never remembers me being fat!:happy:
Good luck in this journey...
