HI!!

Hi there, I'm Becky, 27 and live in the heat of Oklahoma. I was born and raised in MI and moved here in 2005. I have 3 children; 8, 6, and 3. I'm a full time student. My highest weight was about 215 after I had my first baby at age 18. I got down to about 180 and got preggers with my second. I reached about 200 or so and got all the way down to 160 before I got pregnant with my third. I have weighed around 205-206 for the past 3+ years. I just finished my 5th week of eating better and exercising and in the first 4 wks I lost 10 lbs. I am, for the first time in over 3 years, under 200lbs at 196. I am so ready to kick my fat a@@ in the a@@ and lose this weight. I am hoping to be down to 140 by next summer. My short term goal is 160 by my birthday, which is February 18. I want to see 185 on the scale at the end of August.
I've never worked out or tried to eat healthy before and am amazed at how well it works!! I do Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred 5-6 days a week. The technique behind that DVD is to do each level (there are 3) for 10 days and move to the next. Well, I do each level for 3 weeks (15 days) and the last week I do the first level along with the level I'm on. So this next week will be my last week of Level 2 and I am adding Level 1 with it. After I am COMPLETELY done with The Shred I want to buy Insanity and do that. I use MFP to track all my calories. I try to drink half my weight in oz (at least 100) in water.
Well, hopefully I can get some support through this site and track my progress. I will, of course, support those who need it too!!!
Good Luck to everyone on their lifestyle change journey!!
