Trying again...

Hello (again)!
I first started myfitnesspal back in the fall. I was unhappy and knew I wanted better for myself. I lost about five pounds before I lost motivation around the holidays. Here I am, back and ready to conquer this. I am currently 195 lbs with a goal weight of 165. People tell me all the time that I don't need to lose that much because I "don't look that big". But the truth is, I AM and I feel it and it's taking a toll on my energy, my emotions, and my life. My first motivation: I graduate in May and my husband and I want to start our family sometime afterwards. I'd at least like to be at a healthier weight before trying. Motivation #2: I had a kidney removed in 2006 and have been told that due to that, I'm at higher risk for developing other health issues if I don't keep my weight down.
I would love all the support I can get. Add me on here and help keep me on track. I promise I'll do the same for you. Thanks for being there...this site and all of you are amazing.
