in Introduce Yourself
Basic intro post. I'm Jessica, an overweight person looking to lose some more weight.

I'm a stay at home, homeschooling mom. In humid, yucky Fl.

At my biggest I was 338, now 235, currently just trying to get under 200lb and then I will set a new goal.

Also just signed the 4 of us up for a 5k in Sept, it's always been a goal and I'm doing a couch to 5k app with my boys to train.

Anyway, hi, I'm here!

    Hi, Jessica! I'm Audrey and I live in humid, yucky Florida too! You have already come so far...over 100 lbs lost! I'm sure you're going to see a 1 at the beginning of your weight in no time. Good luck!

    Welcome! Great progress so far. Good luck with your 5K - we have a 5K walk/runs here mid-June and I'm trying to talk my DD into doing it with me. I've been doing the TM at the gym but I need to get outside so I'm ready too. You have the humidity and we have the yucky snow (well, it's actually raining right now).

    My boys are 7 and 8 so they're generally excited about everything. I hope she will do it with you, makes it fun to have people with you.

    Mine too! Too bad they don't grow down here. I have two daughters 9 and 10. I just recently did a 5K (which I admit I half walked, half jogged), and now they want to start going on walks with me. They're little skinny things, and they know it...but they like the idea of being healthy...which is kind of awesome! How many kids out there are trying to be healthy? Good job, fullofquirks!

    The 5k we signed up for is called Run or Dye where they throw colored powder at you. I thought that would be a fun way to get everyone interested. And they don't time you, if you want a time you can time yourself, which also is good for my first one.

    Tulips. Sigh, I've planted and potted so many. No go here, you're right.

    The 5K I just did was Color Me Rad and it was the same premise. SO much fun! I wore a white shirt and I'm following the directions on the site to keep the paint they plastered it with on there permanently. You will have so much fun!

    Welcome! I loved C25K and signing up for a 5K was definitely motivation to get out there, so good luck!
