I've had an account with MFP for a while, but I haven't really started using it much up until a few weeks ago. I got a gym membership and I'm finally ready to get serious about losing all this weight. I've ALWAYS been the skinny girl. People used to ask me if I was anorexic (which of course I wasn't). I was blessed to be able to eat whatever and as much of it as I wanted to. BUT with the birth of my two daughters (4 years old and 9 months old), I gained A LOT of weight and now it's been hard to lose any weight. I'm hoping to stay focused and be skinny again! :smile:

    Thanks =)

    Well it's BEAUTIFUL here in Hawaii. I was born and raised here. I'm pretty sheltered. LOL. I've only been out of Hawaii three times. And it was only to vegas and cali. BUT the down fall of living here in paradise is it's EXPENSIVE.

    Great job committing to get that extra weight off! We're all here for you!

    Just my personal advice, keep in mind that a healthy diet will help you lose weight better than exercise - for myself, focusing more on exercise just led me to burn out fast. I've had much more success getting my diet wrangled, and then adding in biking and strength training for fun. I find I actually work out more now that I "don't have to" than when I relied on exercise to help with my weight.

    Best of luck!

    I'm doing both. I'm doing a 1200 calorie diet and working out 5 days a week. =)

    Awesome! Just make sure you "eat those exercise calories," it does make a difference to keep your weight loss steady. :-)

    If you see any rain in Hawaii, please send it our way in Texas! :-)

    Well it's still the same. LOL. I always talk about leaving Hawaii, but I don't think I can.

    Not too much rain recently. But as soon as winter comes around it'll be pouring like crazy.
