Hey everyone! I'm Kayla, 40, married to a GREAT man for almost 5 years, we have 2 daughters (20 & 10). I'm originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan but moved to Tempe, Arizona a few years ago.
I've been on MFP for 2 weeks and a few days. I'm REALLY lovin it! Keeps me accountable and I love to see my progress on the different reports.
I've been overweight my whole life. When I entered college, I was a size 20 - my smallest ever was a size 13/14 before my first child (who's about to turn 20), by the time she turned 1, I had hit the 316lb mark. I'm now "RE-focused" and aiming at making better choices. I was born with a dislocated hip and have had hip surgery - it still gives me a great deal of trouble and I'm building up my stamina for exercise one minute at a time. I'm up to 18 minutes on the elliptical - all at one time! :blushing: I really enjoy swimming too & I can actually walk the next day!
My goal is not to be "skinny" (that is SO not in my genes), just healthy with my curves! Heading for the wonderful ONE-der-land...one day at a time! Also, just quit smoking. Help me Jesus! :happy:
I'm here to support others on their journey & gain encouragement from others! :flowerforyou:

Welcome to the group and to MFP! You will get lots of support and have some fun along the way. This is the longest i have ever stuck to a weight loss effort and it's all thanks to this site. Good luck!0

Hi, Kayla, I'm in Chandler, pretty much in the same boat all around, except I don't have kids (but my BF does - 2 girls, 22 & 25). I'm trying to get back in shape too. I go to LA Fitness at Dobson & Warner, usually about 5pm weekdays. Thinking about getting a bike to ride along the canal, but cost is a factor, plus I haven''t been on a real bike in years! I'd love a fitness buddy, send me a friend request if you'd like!
