NEWBIE - Ready To Get Started !!!

Hi Everyone -

Just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm Christy - and I'm 31 years old. I am married and have one son who is 7 years old. I live in Texas, and am a Stay-At-Home Wife & Mother. . . and loving it !

Well, I was weighed at the Dr. office about 2 weeks ago, and weighed in at 234. I'm getting a scale when I go to the store on Wednesday for my weekly run, so I'll double check when I get it home. . . . I'm assuming it's very close if not on the money.

I'm looking to lose around 100 pounds, if not just a little less.

I remember when I started college, I weighed around 150 and wore a size 6 - and looked really good. . . . I'm very big boned, and can carry alot of weight, and still look and "seem" smaller. I think I'll shoot for that at first - and see how it goes.

I tried losing weight awhile back after my son was born, and I worked out every day with step aerobics, and added weights every other day to that routine. I ate well - I felt WONDERFUL, but never lost anything. . . . great stamina and everything. It was SO FRUSTRATING !!!

Come to find out recently, I've got a Thyroid issue - it's underactive. . . they finally got that straightened out with medication - and this year by just being on the medication and NOTHING ELSE (no exercise, diet changes or anything), I lost 10 pounds. So - HOPEFULLY now that is straightened out, this will work for me ~ You'll have to keep on top of me- I'm NOT a water drinker ! ;)

Just wanted to say HI !

Christy
