[I'm NEW] Just A Bit About Me

My name is Brittney and I am 21 years old. My friend told me about this website yesterday. She has it as an application on her cell phone but figured that I could use it online (since my phone doesn't have applications). So I found it this morning and have been on all day. My husband and I just got married May 2010 and are renovating our first home. We would like to get pregnant either December 2011 or January 2012. That means that the extra weight I have needs to go before then. I would rather gain 20-30 pregnancy pounds while weighing 130 pre-pregnancy, not 171 pounds. This is the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life. I have made resolutions and set goals for myself to lose 20 - 30 pounds before, but I just get bored and discouraged and never followed through. I am definitely motivated now and cannot wait to shed these pounds and finally love the way I look (with and without clothes on)! I have a hard time talking to my husband about my weight loss goals and progress because he loves the way I look now and tells me that I don't need to lose any weight. This means that I will be posting journals often looking to encourage and be encouraged by those with the same goals as myself! To be honest, I think I am technically considered "overweight" for my height and that is a title that I would like to get rid as quickly as possible. I have read that the healthiest way to lose weight is via one pound per week, but if I can I would love to lose two pounds per week. I AM going to go from 171 lbs - 130 lbs by the end of 2011. That's that. --- January 5th 2011
