Hi all! Just found this site a few days ago and have been pouring over the info contained here! There is so much to take in, but just wanted to say hi :carrot:

Feel free to share your knowledge with me.. Heres a little about me

SAHM to a 15month old son loving it and he is my motivation to loose the weight. I have over a 6 year period gained 45lbs and im hoping to loose it all within the next year :^:

I have begun working out 4 days per week and have started to keep a journal and count calories llimiting myself to 1800-1900 per day.

Please share your best piece of advice

thanks in advance

Hi! Im pretty new to this site too but its helping me a lot. Im a new mom to a 13 week old boy and I gained 75lbs in my pregnancy! EeeK! WSo now Im working my but off in an attempt to feel "normal" again.
Best of luck to you! Stay focused, you`ll get there in no time!

I think 45 pounds in a year is do-able. :cb:

For me - the keys to success have been
journalling EVERYTHING - I use Fit Day.
exercise - I love biking, spinning, resistance training and walking especially- find a few things you love and make a habit of it.
planning ahead - this means going online to see what are the best choices at a restaurant if I'm going out...but also bring lunch to work so I don't have to go out very often.

Welcome! I am also new here. This site rocks. Everyone is so helpful. Good luck with your goals.
