Hi everyone! I am new to Fitness pal, this is my 4th day tracking my food and activity and doing pretty good so far. I didn't think I ate too much sugar, but I had the shock of realizing I was eating 3 times as much sugar as suggested by many nutritionists! EEK!

I am a work from home mom with a 5 year old girl and 3 year old boy. I've always had a little battle with weight since I hit puberty in Grade 6. Prior to having my children I worked out like crazy to keep my weight down. Just before I got pregnant with my first child I was 5'7" and 150 pounds (and feeling pretty sexy).

I'm now 246 pounds! I NEVER thought I would ever weigh over 200 pounds. It has had a horrible effect on my self-esteem and my relationship with my fiance. It's time to get my sexy back!!

I'm looking forward to the support I see here in this forum ~ and motivation. Love to read your success stories :)

We can ALL reach our goals!!

If I keep having days like I've had the past 4 days I will lose 20 pounds in 5 weeks. YAY!
