*~~ Becoming Healthy = Becoming Mom ~~*

  • Hello everyone! I found this site tonight while looking for weight loss support. And it seems like a wonderful community! I found this format on another post and thought it would be the best way to tell you all about me.

    First name: Kellie

    Geographical location: Ohio

    Age: 25

    Marital Status: Married to Shaun (together 8 years next month.)

    Children/Ages: none (plan to start trying for a baby in June when I become healthier. )

    Occupation: Nurse (LPN finishing up my RN degree in 2 1/2 weeks!!)

    Pets: 2 pound puppies- Fianna & Liam, 3 sugar gliders, and some fish.

    Hobbies/Interests: Not too many hobbies lately... been busy studying. But when i do have free time I like to read, fix up our house or just hang out with my hubby and friends.

    Height: 5'4"

    Eye/Hair Color: blue/red

    Starting Date of Weightloss Journey:
    December 15th (I finishe classes December 11th. I'm currently getting everything ready so when the 15th gets here I will have not excuses!)

    Starting Weight: 207

    Present Weight: 207

    Goal Weight: 140... but I would be happy with 150.

    Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: I love to snack (chips and pasta are my weaknesses and I'm an emotional eater. I eat when I get stressed, bored, or of course at any social gathering...

    Following any specific plan: I love Leslie Sansone's tapes, and I'm looking into the new 30day Jillian DVD. I plan to alternate walking with kickboxing or more high paced excercise. And of course to cut the pop way down and drink LOTS of water.

    What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: well this time I have a very good reason to become healthy (to make a baby) and I have a set goal date.
  • Welcome to 3FC, Kellie!!

    Losing weight for a baby is a great goal. Don't forget to do it for you, too! It's easy to pile the weight back on after you have a baby. You're tired, irritable, and wondering vaguely where your previous life went.
    Best wishes to you!!
