I'm Hilary and I've been a member for a few years, but have always dropped off the wagon after a short time.
I'm just starting over, and I'm going to forget about all the other times.
So, here goes!
I'm 29 and have three young children. On October 22 I was 224 pounds. I'm 222.5 right now, and happy as a clam about it. :P
I have bronchitis right now and I'm on my period, but I'm not letting those two stop me. I have to get plenty of rest because of the bronchitis, but I'm still getting workouts in. For exercise, I'm doing a 2 mile deluxe walk with Leslie Sansone and I am really enjoying it. I attempted to do the weight loss walk on the same dvd, but just 10 minutes into it I thought I was going to pass out - so I'm going to do the other walk a few more times and work my way up to the other one!
I am just watching what I eat and making sure I don't snack and so far, it's actually going really well.
My goal weight is 115 (I'm 5'1") and I'm breaking my weight loss up into five "phases" to make the journey a little less daunting for me. I'm *HOPING* to start the new year out at 199, and that's my first mini goal. I'm trying to focus more on measurements and such rather than weight, but it's a super easy way to tell what's going on. hehe =)
Looking forward to getting to know you all!!!
It sounds like you have a great plan in place and are ready to go. WTG on exercising.
I'm 4 foot 12 
- I'm starting over again.. (but for the billionth time! 
) Let's do this together!
I think I was on attempt No. 5 million when it finally took. Good for you for getting on the exercise bandwagon. Sounds like you're doing great!
