Hello all, I somehow came across this website somehow while browsing the internet and i peeked through quit a few threads before deciding that this may be the ONE place i might be able to get the motivation and encouragement i need to loose the weight i have seemed to pack on and can not magically take off now!!!

A little about me, I'm 25 years old, live in the Bay area in California, i have a 2 year old daughter and im currently a stay at home mom, not by choice of course!! I am and have been engaged to my BF a little over 3 years and we're approaching our 4 year here pretty soon. There is not much else to tell except that my main goal is to get to where i was pre-pregnancy:

1st goal - 165
2nd goal - 145

I will add i am usually ALWAYS on AIM instant messenger, and am OPEN and happy to meet new friends!!!

Welcome and good luck!Where so you live in the Bay Area? I am in South Bay.
Do you have a diet and exercise plan?

Thank you, I live on the peninsula, I have not got so far yet in my planning, i have been reading and reading different threads to get ideas of what does and does not work, I know i will be going to the gym 3-5 days a week when the money is in the pocket of course..

If you are on the peninsula you can't be far from me. Going to the gym is an excellent idea as is any exercise, I find that calorie counting works best for me and I have tried many diets.

Hey all! San Francisco chick here too! Good luck to us all!
