New Year...New Me

Hello! My name is Amanda. I am a 27 yr old single mom of 3 boys (7,6 and 3 yrs). I have been overweight all my life but every year I seem to gain a little more and more. I started Jan 1st at 228.5. I am 5'2 and it's way too much weight for my height. My back hurts, its hard to breathe at times. It hurts (emotionally) to sit out of games at the park because mommy is too fat.
I'd love to loose 100lbs. I want to be healthy, more energetic and need a boost in my self esteem.

I plan on posting here everyday in my food journal. I'd like to make friends here along the way!
