Hello everyone!!!

Options
I'm new on here and just wanted to introduce myself!!! My name's Jamie, i'm 21, married to my husband Jason, and have one very handsome 7 month old son, Landon!!! I weigh about 120 pounds more than I would like to...but let me tell ya....i'd be super happy to even lose 75 pounds!!!! I've had constant weight problems for as long as I can remember. I remember in the seventh grade I began to skip out on my lunch becuase I didn't want to eat the calories, nor have anyone see me eating the calories. It's just been a constant struggle for sooo long. I've even gone through phases of not eating a darn thing and lost a lot of weight at first but was really dizzy (young and stupid) and had no energy so I started eating again....BUT GAINED ALL THE WEIGHT BACK PLUS SOME. That was about 5 years ago though, so needless to say I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON!!! I remember weighing myself thinking, gosh, it's so close to the 200 mark, I need to lose weight before I go into the 200's BUT THEN I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT AND NOW WEIGH 230 (was more but I have lost some!!!). Since i'm a JUNE STARTER i'll be posting my before and after pics if I can get my hubby to take the pics of me!!! OH, AND I GOT A MEMBERSHIP AT CURVES, I'M SUPER EXCITED TO WORK OUT THERE AGAIN TODAY (I signed up yesterday!) and let me tell ya, i'm not a huge excersise fan...especially when others can see me doing it, lol!!!

    Hi, I am new to this site. This is my third day. As of now I have stuck to the diet and exercise plan. I think it is an excellent site. I particularly like the food database. It includes most of the food items. Currently I weigh 73 kilos. My goal weight is 62 kilos :smile:
