WOW-- I am so glad to find this place!! I have been doing it on my own for the last --- um I think it's 19 weeks now! Great to find a place to get some help and inspiration!
I am 41 years old -- live in Iowa with my DH and my son who is 18 -- he is from my first marriage. I have been married 4 1/2 years this time around. I also have a daughter that is 21. Furbabies -- Jack almost 2 Toy Fox Terrier, Pyxis about 7 - dalmation/lab mix and a black cat named Midnight.
As I said I started approx 19 weeks ago weighing 237 lbs. My motivation to start was I weighed as much as my father who is over 6' and here I am at 5' 3" -- yikes!! So it began - my first goal was 50 lbs which I am 2 lbs shy of making. I have since lengthened and changed my goal to a total of 100 lbs.
I do Wii 5 days a week -- I started with the Wii fit and then moved to the EA Sports and now do the My Fitness coach. I walk 1 mile at lunch 5 days a week and walk at least 5 days a week at night 2.5 miles. I am working on getting my time shortened. I have been reading the boards about about that!
So that's me! Thanks for having me here and I am looking forward to making new friends!
