in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

My name is Lindsey. I'm a 26 year old mom with two young children who have unfortunantly left me 70lbs overweight. I've finally decided to get serious about getting rid of these pounds. I look forward to sharing my success with you all!

    Welcome aboard. I also have about 70 pounds to lose to get to a normal BMI but for right now I'm setting smaller goals. 10 pounds first, then I'll go to 30. and then take it from there. You are going to love this site.

    Good luck

    Thanks! My first goal is to get under 200lbs and that's a reasonable one to set. My second goal would be to lose 50 by my birthday which would mean I'd have to lose 2 lbs a week. I'm realistic with this one and ANY weight loss by my birthday would be awesome..but if I could lose all 50 I'd be the happiest person in the world!

    My ULTIMATE goal is to be as thin as I was before kids and even more fit and to rub it in my sil's face since I found out that her nickname for me behind my back is "tubby".
