5"5 weighing 230 lbs - need a new me!

Hi Everyone!

I just joined MFP and am looking to lose at least 50 lbs. I am miserable with my body and I know that this is making me depressed. I have a very active 2 year old son and never have the energy to run around with him. I am needing a change badly! I am hoping to get some motivation from everyone of these boards so we can all start to live a healthier happier lifestyle.

I am going to start back at the gym on Monday morning and start eating right. Thanks in advance to anyone to took the time to read this.
