Dipping my toe in the water...
 

Hi everyone!
My name is Kari, I'm 28 and a SAHM to two beautiful girls and wife to my best friend and the love of my life. <3

My youngest daughter is 6 months old, and the weight has not come off this time. I need to lose 20 lbs to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, but I need to lose about 40 lbs, really. That's a decent amount of weight on my 5' tall frame!

I've decided, and my husband is holding me to it, that I need to lose at least the 20 lbs before we ttc #3. I figure that if I don't get it off before becoming pregnant again, then I'm hooped- it will be harder than ever to get it off afterwards.

My problem is motivation- or lack thereof. And I do have some great motivation, a reason for losing the weight- but I'm just so darn lazy!

I need to exercise regularly, not only so that I can lose some weight, but to be healthier and fit and be able to enjoy chasing my girls around!

I also need to start a diet or eating plan. I'm the type who doesn't want one or two cookies, I want 12. I've never been on a diet before, but I think I'll be able to find some great info from this board.

So for now, I'm just dipping my toe in the water. One day soon, I'll be jumping in!

Welcome!!!
