    I was close to your weight in Jan. The good news is the first pounds can come off quick. Do you have access to a treadmill?

    Start off about 1500 calories a day and 70g of carbs, and start the couch to 5k running plan SLOWLY on a treadmill. Walk it if you have to.

    The secret to weight loss is consistency. Maintaining the calorie deficit every day, doing those workouts. Even when you feel like total crap and want nothing more than to lay around eating pizza or chocolate.

    i think if we dont want our children to follow your footsteps we need to show them the proper way to eat is rolemodelling. my fear for her is being overweight. i was an overweight child and i know cruel other children could be. Lets face it chances are higher to be an overweight grown up if you were an overweight child my husand and I are living proof of that

    Hi Melissa. I am currently a stay at home mom (only while I'm on my maternity leave though) with a 4 month old and a 4 yr old, so I think we share some of the same struggles. I would love to motivate each other. I have 65 + pounds to loose.
