Hey everyone! I'm really looking forward to meeting new people here and making some friends. losing weight is so much easier with a buddy! Just a little about me. I am a SAHM of two beautiful kiddos, ages 18months and 6 months. (yup i have my hands full!) I was able to drop 25 lbs on my own but hit a plateau so I looking for ways to move past this and continue on my journey to a new and healthy me!
 
Congrats on your loss already. That's fantastic. There's a bunch of info on the forums, so I'm sure you'll find what you need to get you past the plateau. I hope you enjoy your stay, and wish you good health :)
 
Welcome. How much more weight are you wanting to lose? Baby weights (your kids) can be great for exercise. Just playing with and lifting your kids can be a super workout.
 
i want to lose at least another 100 lbs, for my lifetime goal of 160. i'm sure it will take awhile, i'm giving myself to march 2011, because we are having a big family reunion at disneyworld at that time. i figured that gave me a little more than 2 yrs, so 50lbs a yr. do you think that is reasonbable?
 
Hello and welcome to the forum! Congrats on your weight loss so far, you're doing great! :)

I would definitely say that getting to your goal by 2011 is reasonable, and it is good that you are giving yourself enough time to get there. :)

Have a look around the boards, there is piles of great adivce, and even more great people around here. It's definitely more fun, and much easier to lose weight with a buddy (or a lot of buddies), and it's nice to have peeps to talk to when you need it. You're definitely in the right place here! :)
 
That is very doable. A pound a week is very realistic and if you lose 2 bonus. You sound like you have the right mind for this. You are not setting unrealistic goals. Have you started an exercise program. Maybe start with walking and then work your way up. That is what I did I started with walking and then hiking. And now it is my Passion don't feel right without having done something. It all comes with time and you are giving yourself that. Good luck and I will look in on you from time to time. Tina:party:
 
I am also a new mum. Baby is 5 months plus, and I am successfully reducing weight by taking care of her day and night. She is naughty, but she help me alot in reducing weight. :)
 
Your goal is very attainable, just keep a positive attitude and with some work you will be hitting your goals with no problem. Have fun in Disney World. My parents are taking me there next year, lol and I am 29 years old. :)
