Introduction

I am jennifer, 30 years old, 5'4" and stay at home mommy to 3 kids. I am just starting my new way of eating an exercising after having my last little one (he is 9 months old now). It wasn't until a child at my daughters school asked if I was having a baby that I realilzed I was still big. I currently weight 217.5 (at my last weigh in). I want to weigh 170 but I will take it one day at a time. I work out everyday for 30-60 mins depending on what I am doing. I am watching what I eat and logging everything. (Even the half of cookie I ate, my daughter asked me to take a bit and I couldn't stop).

I am looking for support to keep going because I am tired of listening to my dr tell me that I am fat and have to lose weight. I know this, not sure how I could forget. Most of my family is on the larger side so eating healthy isn't something I am accustom too. But that will change.

Any advise that people could give me would be great. I have a scale at home that does body fat and right now it reads 43% that is not ok with me. I am shooting for that to say under 30%.

I am truely more concerned about body fat than how much I weigh. I want to be able to be here for my kids and not be fat any longer. I have only gained more weight with each child and since we are done I have no excuse not to start working harder. Without childcare I have to take the kids with me to excercise so we walk to school everyday that is 2 miles round trip, I do walk away the pounds videos, and ab workouts.

If you have any ideas to help me or words of encoragement please let me know. I could use them.
