Introduction Caitlin

My name is Caitlin. I am 23 years old and have 6 month old baby boy. I have always been a little overweight, but I got to my highest weight when I was pregnant (318) :( Im down to 260 and I want to lose at least 100 more lbs.

I want to be healthy and in shape for many reasons. The main one is my son, I want to be around for him for a long time and be healhty and able to do things with him without running out of breath.

I want to feel good about myself.
I want to enjoy going shopping and buying clothes I actually like.
i want to gain confidence in myself.
I want to be able to look at a picture of me and say i like that pic.

I would like to try to find some support buddies.

    This is a great place to learn how to adjust your food and exercise to live a full healthy life. Welcome. :)

    Even if you get discouraged and think you can't do it, come log in and say hi to your friends list or make a forum post anyhow. Just keep making any kind of effort if you ever get stuck. Even the smallest efforts can still propel us forward.
