Default Hello from Ali in IOWA!

Hello everyone! My name is Ali, I am 25 years old from Davenport, Iowa. I am a proud mother of a 5 year old little boy and a 5 month old little girl. I have been married to the love of my life for 4 years. I am at a point in my life where I am fully commited to being a healthier person. I recently quit smoking cigarettes and have been tobacco free for over 2 weeks and I'm never looking back. I am currently at 210lbs. I would like to get down between 140-160lbs. I am currently walking for 30 minutes 5 days a week sometimes outside sometimes on a treadmill. I try to jog for 60 seconds within that time. I am fully commited this time, I feel that if I can give up cigarettes forever this easily, I should be able to lose this weight and keep it off. I look forward to speaking with all of you in the future!
Good Luck everyone and stay MOTIVATED!!!!
No excuses!!!

That's awesome that you quit smoking!!! That is a huge hurdle by itself, so big kudos to you!!

Definitely keep up with your exercise! Always remember that any exercise is better than no exercise, so always be happy with the exercise you complete =) Are you following any type of diet plan with it? I currently do weight watchers, and have had great success with it so far (I've lost just over 6 lbs in 15 days, just by changing my diet and I've added about 3-5 30 minutes walks/workouts). I know with kids, sometimes a structured plan isn't always optimal, so maybe just choosing healthier options, like lean proteins and fresh veggies, would work out, too ^_^

I look forward to hearing more about your weight loss journey!!! =D
