Newbie!! :-)

Hello. My name is Alexia. I made a New Year's promise to myself and my son to get healthy. Since starting Jan 1, I have lost 7.8lbs. I found this site today and I hope it will be a great tool to lose the 200lbs of excess weight that I currently have. I want to get down to 140 which is a healthy weight for my height of 5'3. My goal is to get there by my 35th birthday which is July 8, 2015. So, I have 3.5 years to get there.

I wish everyone much luck and success in getting fit and healthy!!
