in Introduce Yourself
Hello. :)

My name is Kristi, i'm 25, and I'm just getting started here. I originally joined MFP when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes so I could track my carbs (which worked really well, by the way). But, my son is now over a year old, and I think I'm finally ready to lose the weight. I didn't gain weight during my pregnancy. It was actually the first time in my life my metabolism ever actually kicked in. I ended up weighing less after giving birth than I did before I got pregnant. This isn't baby weight I'm here to lose. It's just me weight. Had a pretty raging ed in high school, but I'm sure some of you know how that goes. So... Annnnnyway.

Guess it's about time to get myself under control. I've got a cute little boy to chase around now. I think my goal is to lose 100lbs. We'll see. I have a wide frame to begin with, so I may or may not actually have that much to lose. According to bmi charts that's where I should be, but time will tell. I'm currently 233.4 lbs. I'm 5'3". I wear a size 18/20. We'll see what happens.

I'd love to be friends with you, whoever you are and whatever your goals.

<3

    Hi Kristi!! Feel free to add me if you like. I can relate to some of your story. I had lost over 50 pounds before getting pregnant with my third child. I did really well during the pregnancy and only gained 23 lbs but after my c-section I put the majority of the rest back on. I have been working at it for several months and I now weigh less than I did when I got married 15 years ago and still have a few pounds to go. I would love to help you on your journey!
