Default Greetings from Florida

Hello,

My name is Kat, I'm a 31 year old married mum of two and desperate to lose weight. I decided several weeks ago, after some major changes in my life that I needed to start shedding the pounds. Lots of them. I stand around 5'2" and weigh approximately 253lbs. The fact that I even say that out loud for me is a great first step. I hate how much I weigh and I feel it every day. My goal is to loose around 100lbs.

I have managed to change my diet and I tell myself all the time that this is a lifestyle change and not something to do for the time being. I've been consistently working out almost 6 times a week for about 20 mins at home for the past 3 weeks (my neighborhood isn't the best and gyms are far too expensive for me). So I feel like I'm off to a relatively good start, but I know I have tons of work ahead of me. One of my biggest challenges is that my husband, who is also overweight, is not in anyway shape or form interested in dieting/exercising so everything I do, I pretty much do by myself. The other is that I have an office job and spend most of my days stuck to a chair.

With all that said, I'm hoping that I can find lots of motivation on this board as well as maybe some friends, helpful tips, tricks and all that fun stuff on my journey.

Thanks for taking the time to read a little bit about me!

Kat

Hey Kat! I'm very excited for your decision to get healthy! I surely think you can do it as long as you stay positive and keep going. Good luck!
