brand new, need friends for motivation

Hey everyone!
I am new here. I am a mom of a 16 month old. I am 21 years old. I am currently 210 lbs....I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy :( I am hoping to lose 80 lbs. I want to be at my original 130 lbs although if I get down to 150 lbs. I will still be ecstatic haha I am going to weight lift four times a week and do cardio twice a week. I am counting calories and eating healthy (lots of lean meats, vegetables, and a balance of fruit and carbs). I'm hoping to get to know some people in the same predicament as me and hopefully we can keep each other motivated to reach our goals!

Thanks

    Welcome to MFP! You will love it! My name is Kristy, I am 29 yrs old, married with no kids. I have about 100lbs in total to lose. I started at 246.3 and am down to 214.4 as of my last official weigh-in (Friday). I feel like you can never have too many supportive people backing you up on this journey so if you, or any one else, would like to friend me, please do not hesitate. I love my MFP friends and welcome more with open arms. Also, check out the groups section of MFP. It is a good way to meet people like you and to possibly join some challenges that might make losing weight feel more like a fun game instead of work!

    Best of luck on your journey! :flowerforyou:
