Hello all!

Just posting to introduce myself and get some motivation! I'm 26-years-old and want to lose 55 pounds to get to a healthy weight.
I've always struggled with my weight, but before I had kids I was able to manage it. I had two boys 16 months apart who are now three and 20-months-old, and I more than ready to lose the weight. They're getting faster and harder to keep up with and I want to be a healthy, fit mama!

A coworker told me about MFP, so I'm signed up and ready to go. I've already found some great information and advice and am hoping to discover even more during my weighloss journey. I would love to meet new friends who have success stories and are still on their journey as well!

My goal tonight is to weigh in and take my starting measurements and "before" pics.

    Hi! MFP is the best way to go, I have had nothing but luck with it! It helps me keep track of everything I eat and keeps me on the right track. I am now done almost 45 pounds and Ive lost 4 sizes! My son is 3 and I gained a lot of weight after I had him. Heavier than I ever was before in my life. I begin having heart palpation last year and had to wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks, really no cause they came up with to why I was having them. Doc thought it was caffenie. But I know it was my weight, as soon as I started excerising and getting more physical activity and losing weight, they stopped. It was kind of a wake up call for me and still stays my motivation to be and stay healthy! I feel amazing now and the energy levels are off the roof now! I use to be tired all the time and never felt like doing anything, now I can keep up with my 3 year old! Its very hard to lose weight and stay motivated but u can do it, may be a slow process but if u stick with it u will see results! If u need any help or motivation feel free to msg me whenever! And I wish u much luck on ur new journey!!!
