Let's Support Eachother

Hi there - I'm Stephanie. 5'4, a little < 250 lbs, heaviest ever in my life! My goal is about 175...hopefully even less. I am newly married (2 years in June) and my husband and I love to travel and whatnot...so we are hoping to have kids in the next couple years but I NEED to get healthy first! He is super healthy and fit which makes it even harder. I am not "unhappy" but I am definitely unhealthy. So I need to do this for me and for my "family". I live in MA (south of Boston). Just started working out. I am a registered nurse, working as a nurse manager and I am going back to school in September for my masters. So when I am stressed I eat, when I am bored I eat, etc. I am going to change because I am so sick and tired of starting over. I want this!!

    Welcome to mfp. I used to be a registered nurse before becoming disabled almost 4 yrs. ago. My husband is totally fit, but a little underweight, so he doesn't have to worry about what he eats. I have to watch every bite and exercise. I am 5'4" and am now down to 205. Feel free to add me. :smile:
