Hello from KY! :D

Hi everyone!

So this is my first time posting in the forums, though I joined MFP on January 3rd. I suppose putting myself out there like this makes me a bit nervous...

Anyway, a little bit about me - My name is Kristie, and I'm a 22 year old from Kentucky. Happily married, mother of 1, generally happy person. But just like nearly everyone else on the planet, my weight has really started to get on my nerves more than ever. I'm 5'5" and as of today, 174 lbs. I've lost 4 lbs over the course of 2 or 3 weeks, which doesn't sound like much to me, but I guess it's a small victory nonetheless. I'd like to eventually get down to 150 lbs at least, which is the very maximum healthy weight for my height according to the BMI calculator.

My favorite method of exercise so far is the game Dance Central for the Xbox 360 Kinect. I was a dancer in high school (the last time I saw 150 lbs. on a scale) and it's really motivated me to get up and move because I find it so much fun. I've also been trying to eat better, and keep better track of what I put in my body. I also started drinking green tea everyday!

I'm excited to get acquainted with you all!
