5'5 with 35-50 pounds to lose!

hi everybody! i'm Veronica, a 24 yo mom of a 1yr old :happy: right now, i currently weigh 210 pounds, but when i started i weighed 225 and after gaining 5 pounds, decided to get serious about this weight loss. so far ive lost around 15 pounds by doing nothing but following the daily calorie goals for the past 5 weeks. im aiming for 175 by febuary, but medically speaking i should aim for 160. im going to start including workouts in my daily activities, but honestly running after my daughter wears me out :yawn: im just looking for women who, like me, could use some motivation and encouragement. it doesnt matter if we dont have the same stats....at the end of the day, wether you have 5 or 50 pounds to lose, we're all aiming for the same thing: a smaller, fitter, happier us!
