hi, my name is serena. i am just beginning my weight loss journey and found this board. i like to read about you all and think we can be helpful to each other. i am 23 yrs old. i am a SAHM. i weigh 273.5 and want to weigh 150 (when i get there i'll see if that is enough, lol... i want to be 130 something.. but ya know how that goes) i have read dr. phil's book and am working with it... but at this point not as well as i should. i want to use whole foods in my diet as well as maybe meal replacements (in the morning). i'm working on the exercise part. i started with 10 min today on my eliptical trainer machine. it's a start.

my other life... lol.... i have been married for 6 yrs (that's how i gained the weight... i married a pig and then became one). we have 2 kids. a 5 yr old boy and a 2 yr old girl.(the piglets, hehe).

about me... i'm horribly disorganized even tho i don't wanna be... i have a hair cut that i love (just got it thursday)... i like reading (romance, historical novels, suspense) and learning... i'm a board game addict...

Welcome to the board Serena!!

I'm at 217 and want to get to 145. I'm trying to lose my pregnancy weight, my daughter is 14 months and it's not a very good excuse anymore.

My short term goal is to lose 1.5 pounds a week rather than looking at the whole 70some odd pounds this YEAR!

Good Luck, we're all here for you and welcome to our journey!

~Dana
