Hello everyone! I'm new!

  • Hello! My name is Jeanetta. I'm 26 years old and I'm married with one child. My son is 14 months old and is a peach! I decided to join this board because I am looking for support and encouragement during my journey to lose weight. I've always been overweight, but since I got pregnant and had my son, I've just been piling on the weight. Currently I weigh 7 lbs more than 6 weeks post partum, and 25 lbs more than my prepregnancy weight.
    I weighed 215 one week ago when I started my diet. I have been eating a low calorie diet and I am trying to do 30 min of exercise 5 times a week. I have lost 2 lbs in the last week.
    My ultimate goal is to lose 55-65 lbs. I'm not in a hurry, because I want to lose the weight the right way and keep it off. My first 'mini' goal is to lose 25 lb by the end of August.
    I'm really hoping to succeed, but I know that it will be difficult. Hope to get to know you all!!
