Just Starting Out...

Hi, I'm a mom of 3 boys, 6, 4 & 3 years old. I have been dealing with my weight all my life. Though right now, I'm at 215 pounds which is the weight I was at when I graduated from high school. Then in 2000 I weighed in at my lowest at 140 pounds. I loved myself and felt great. But I also smoked cigarettes and in December of 2001 I decided to quit smoking. 3 months later I gained 40 pounds, and it just started escalating after that.

I just started my fitness pal on 2/15 and so far I love it! No weight change yet, I've been weighing myself everyday, which I'm going to stop because I'm obsessing to much about it. I use my computer and my ipod touch to record my food intake and it's so easy and so fun to do. I even did an EA Sports Active workout yesterday and been drinking my water. Though, I would like some friends, so I can view their progress, which will hopefully motivate me. I can't wait until I weigh in on Tuesday, hopefully it'll go down.
