Hey everybody! My name is Jaelynne and I just joined MFP (again). I used the app a bit back in high school but now I need to get serious. My family has a history of diabetes and heart problems, so I can't be wishy washy about my health and weight loss anymore. I'm 22, recently married, and I want to have kids someday. I want to live a long, happy, HEALTHY life with my family. As of today, I have about 130 lbs to lose. It's going to be a long journey, but I know it's going to be worth it. I could really use some friends and support, so please feel free to add me! :)

    I just joined as well, I am making short term goals. Five (5) Lbs at a time for me. We all have to find our own paths, what works for each of us. WB, Would be Happy to help any way I can.
