I guess I should introduce myself!

Hello! My name is Kris. I am a 31 year old mommy to 2 kiddos (Jake -2 years and Sam -2 months).

Before we started the process to have kids - I was a little overweight (I love food!!) and very active (a fitness instructor :blush: )

Due to some pregnancy complications and not being able to exercise like I used to/wanted to (and not limiting my calories accordingly!) I have gained way to much weight and numerous bad habits!

I am looking forward to using this forum to support and motivation as I make small, sustainable, attainable changes towards a healthy lifestyle so that I can be an active and health role model for my family.

After Sam's birth I was 235 lbs, I am now 205 lbs. A heatlhy weight for my 5'4" frame is 145 lbs (top end) so that will be my long term goal for now. I don't want to focus on my weight but on the health changes I am making and going to keep doing for the rest of my life. The weight loss will be a result of that - not the focus (I need to keep reminding myself of that!)

Good luck to everyone on this forum! Together we can do this!

Hi there,

it seems we have so much in common! two kids, similar weight range and goal, similar age (well, by a few years:).

Good luck! I hope we can both be a support to each other:)

That's awesome! I will stop by your diary and we can encourage each other!! So good to know that there are others on the same journey and we can support each other!!!
