I'm pretty much just another newbie. I've been reading the forum off and on for some time and decided I'd finally post. I am so determined to get back in shape. I've done good with weight loss a couple times, then I get pregnant and regain the weight. I don't have any future pregnancies planned (not that life always follows 'the plan') so I'm really hoping that this time I can get to where I'm really happy with my body. I'm not sure what weight I'll be when I get to that point, I hate the BMI scale because I'm truly large boned and muscular for a woman (very Scandinavian!). So my goal, as silly as it may sound is to look at healthy as I feel and to feel great! I know that's gonna be under 200 lbs, so that's my target weight wise.
I'm a calorie counter and I love to exercise. I'm jogging/walking 3.5 miles 3 days a week. Just jogged a little over a mile straight today! Over 2 miles total jog time now. 2 days a week I do HIIT type workouts, something with free weights for sure. My hubby and I usually walk 2.5 miles in the evenings 4-5 days a week. I think I have the exercise covered.
One of my goals is to run a 5K by the first of the year and I think I'm gonna be able to do it!I got serious about getting in shape in June, I'm down 24lbs so far. Looking forward to loosing even more!

It's great meeting you! I wish you the best of luck with your weight loss.
