This is the year I'm getting in shape.
I'm mom to a 20 month old and today I reached my pregnancy weight. Not the pre-pregnancy, I mean the one before I delivered my baby.
I want to lose about 120lbs but my first goal is to get down to 250lbs by summer...so that would be about 40lbs.
250lbs was the last weight that I felt comfortable wearing a bathing suit and this will be the year that I am taking my son for swimming lessons

Welcome from this Cali chick

Nice to see another lady who defines California beauty in terms other than tan botoxed and too thin

This site is wonderfully supportive and can help us remember there are more ladies like we chicks than those on tv

Hi Plien!
I know you must have your hands full with your little one! -sounds like you're ready to get started with a plan and a goal that is right for you, not just a diet or a number - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
