Hey everyone! My name is Cynthia and I'm 24. Right now I live in South Carolina but I am about to move back to where I'm from, Virginia. I'm a Navy wife and a stay at home mom to 2 beautiful girls who are 9 1/2 months and 21 months old. I had 2 back to back C-sections and I am trying to lose all of the weight I gained from both pregnancies. In july I started my journey at 217 pounds and today I am 188. I've hit a wall and I'm in need of some support. My ultimate goal is to be at 130 pounds when I turn 25 in December. I know its a reachable goal for me I just have to stay committed. I'm hoping that I will meet some great people who will support me and that I can offer my support to.

Hello Cynthia,
Good luck on your weight loss journey! I am a new member too and I look forward to meeting new people and hearing about their journey as well.
I am a stay at home mom too and I know how hard it is to lose weight!!
Good luck!!!
Jenn

I'm a Virginian and did grad school in SC -- I bet you are from the Norfolk area, right?

You will find lots of support and good info on this site -- browse around and post wherever feels right. Have you chosen a plan for eating and exercise?

Welcome!

Thanks you guys!

guynna- I am from the Norfolk area, born and raised in Virginia Beach!

For my plan I am calorie counting and considering starting to zig zag. I've counted calories and done low carb in the past but for me low carb is not something that I can stick to forever. As far as exercise goes, I go for walks and I'm doing work out videos. The videos are hip hop abs, turbo jam, and slim in 6. Hopefully I can stick to it all, because with everything together this should work really well for me.
