Hi everyone. Thanks for letting me join this group
My name is Kimmy. I'm 31 years old and a single mom to one little boy who will be 8 in January. Been the 2 of us since he was 15mths old. My big guy has a diagnosis of Autism, so it does make life a little bit challenging, but I wouldn't change it.
I've been over weight most of my life. It really has gotten out of hand though since I had my son (yep, almost 8 years ago-still hanging onto the "baby weight")
My dr is on my case all the time about my weight and my bmi. I know I need to lose, because I need to be around for my son. My starting weight is 235. I'm only 5 feet tall though so this is not good! I don't have high blood pressure or high chloresterol though, which is good I think! I would love to get down to 170 (****, if i get there, then I'm shooting for 135) but am setting my first goal for 220. 15 pounds. I dont know yet how i'm going to do it. That's why I joined here. For inspiration, ideas, advice.
Anywho, My son and I reside in a small little town about 25 mins west of Ottawa, Canada. We keep busy with school/daycare, work, special olympics(GREAT organization!) and therapies. Anyways, looking forward to getting to know some of you
have a great day
