My name is krystal i am the mother of 2 children under four. I am a full time college student and have a part time job. I am always busy and resort to fast food a lot ! I am always tired and i know some of it is because of the weight i am currently 230lbs. I have tried this numerous times and never stick to it! I was 260lbs after i gave birth to me son. I was 130lbs before i ha my children. My goals are:
by 11/2/09: 210
by 12/3/09: 200
by 1/1/10: 190
by 7/7/10: 150
by 10/10/10: 130
I hope and pray i can do this!!

    I dont want to be a buzz kill but your goals are aggressive. I'm not saying you can't, but with 2 kids that likely take most of your time.

    Do not lose heart if you don't hit your goals. Readjust them as needed and look at what is realistic to your lifestyle. If it takes you 2 years to get to your goal, then great. It's better than taking 2 months, not dropping like 30 pounds and giving up, then in 2 years weighing 230 or 260 again.

    Best of luck to you.
