Woo, another newbie!

Hi there. My name is Kim and I am 29 years old (hitting the big dirty thirty next month). I'm new to myfitnesspal, but certainly NOT new to the whole get-in-shape weight loss thing. Admittedly, I did the "support a gym" thing for years, where I carelessly handed over monthly dues without barely stepping foot into the place. After buying a house with my husband last summer, we finally joined a gym up in our new area around December 2011. I promised myself I'd actually go, and I've held true to my word.

In February, I signed up with a personal trainer, and haven't looked back since. I started out at 227 pounds, and have whittled down to 174 in the 5 1/2 months we've worked together. It has been a PROCESS and a JOURNEY, but I am consistently amazed at all of the new things my body can do. I am also consistently amazed at how broke I can get having to buy new clothes because all of my old clothes quickly fall off. (I could have bigger problems, yes?) I'm in it to reach the "ultimate goal weight" of 125... but am really looking to have a nice toned and fit body.

Recently got into running, and will be doing my first 5K on July 28th (Color Run!). Looking to do the Warrior Dash in September. I set lofty goals, but it keeps me in check and focused.

I'm excited to meet some more motivational and inspirational people on here. It's a journey with yourself, but its nice to have a cheering squad and listening ears on the way!
