Hi Andreeanne, I'd love to partner with you for weight loss. I also weigh about 200 and have successfully lost about 30 lbs in the past. My children are older than yours, but I know how hard it is to stay healthy and raise little ones. This is a great time to start a weight loss journey. What's worked for me in the past is to post my eating, exercise, challenges and tips each day and you'd do the same once, twice or three times - whatever it takes.

I want to look good and feel good so I can keep up with my three boys - I'm sure you feel the same.

Last time I started by giving up wine, sweets and breads to kick-start the journey, then I calorie counted and tried to eat 1900 or less calories a day - it worked! I eventually started a regiment of good exercise too. Foods that helped a lot were salads, yogurt smoothies, power bars to get me through the hungry periods, fruits and veggies, some good protein.
I'll start

stats:
200 plus

I'll check back later to see if you and anyone else is game to start this incredible journey to health, confidence and energy. Take care.
