Just thought I'd introduce myself. As my user name indicates, my goal is 130. The scale this morning is 156.6. I'm 5'5"

I'm 32yo female. I have a 5 yo, 3yo and 1yo. I'm beginning to wean the baby from breastfeeding and ready to take my body back!

I was always skinny mini growing up. My metabolism apparently changed at about 22 yrs and a desk job out of college. I was 135 when I got pregnant with my first. Each baby has added about 10 lbs. I find I am lacking energy greatly. I have a full time job and 2 hr a day commute. The kids tend to de-rail my exercise plans in the evenings and I'm usually to tired to drag my butt out of bed in the morning. I am completely addicted to sugar and chocolate. I can eat an entire large bag of M&M's or Kit Kats without blinking.

A recent health screening had my chlolestrol slightly high and I've begun having problems with my left knee. I'm hopeful that if I can get back down to a more comfortable weight these things might go away.

So, I really just need to keep plugging away at trying to get more exercise in and killing my candy beast.

I want to be to 130 by my birthday in April.

Looking forward to some online support!

Hey there, and

You're in the right spot for online support for sure!

We have forums by age range (like the 30-somethings), by amount to lose (given that you're fairly close to a healthy weight for your height, you might want to look at the Featherweights forum), or by eating plan, so look around! Then just find a spot or many spots that feel right, settle in, and get going.

Can't wait to get to know you better!

Welcome! This really is a great place for information and support! You can find an eating plan, and lots of other great tips by just poking around. Good luck with your goal, and have a great 2011
