My name is Daniella, and I am a stay at home mom of 3 amazing children. I have a 5 year old daughter, a 4 year old son, and a 6 month old baby girl. And I have a wonderful husband of 3 years (as of yesterday).

I have started this journey many times before, but this time I am really sticking to it. I have managed in the past to lose 20 pounds, and I have never gained that back thank goodness. So I am continuing to lose, my goal is to get in to the 100's by the end of the year.

I decided on Saturday that I was fat. I was sitting on the picnic table watching my kids play at the park and I felt out of breath, and I hadn't even done anything. I looked at my husband and I let it all out. I asked him to do this with me so there is that support that I need.

On Sunday I started it all. We weighed and measured ourselves and every month we will update. I started a food diary which I have been 100% honest with, which is great for me. I am not really "dieting" but I am eating less and eating a lot more fruit (BC Cherries are my addiction right now) and drinking a lot of water. Also I am going for a lot of walks in the evening with the kids.

I have been checking out this forum for quite a while now, but decided now that I can finally post as I am ready to begin this journey.

I can't wait to get to more reading on here, and look forward to all the advice that I will receive.

Hi Daniella and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs

Hey Daniella! I'm new here too! Good Luck on your journey!!

Daniella, we are glad you are here, I am a shorty also...Hey I kind of have the same realization but decided for a mini goal for myself for July, no soda or fast food, eating healthier. I don't call it a diet but just a change in eating habits and goals. Good luck and keep us posted.
