Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this site and i'm so excited to meet new people and continue to improve myself. I'm29 yrs old 5'2 151 lbs and a proud mom of two. I've been working really hard the past 8 weeks and have lost 12 pounds so far (EXCITED). My goal is to lose 30 lbs by my Birthday in October and with support and hard work it's going to happen. Good luck to everyone I wish good health and happiness for every one of you.

    I'm new too!! I just started last Friday. I love the tool...at first I resisted but I'm really embracing the accountability aspect of it. We have similar goals!! I'm 5'2 and weight at least 150...haven't weighed myself in months but I know by the way my clothes fit. I need to get down to 130 asap! Let's do this!!:happy:

    Hi kelly!! I had my first son in 2009 my starting weight was about 230..ending was 254 :( after he was born I got down to 205, I got pregnant with my second son in 2010 starting weight was 209 ending was 231...he was born 7/3/11. I am still nursing so that helps ALOT I think. But I have also changed my eating habits tremendously...I make smarter choices, skip restaraunts and eat smaller portions. I also increased my exercise...before I was basically doing nothing and after having my first son I joined a gym, started walking daily and now I have been doing group fitness classes since October...even the smallest change helps!!
