Well I have been her before, and needless to say I gave up. i haven't really gained any weight thank goodness. I weighed myself today and was as 255.5. My goal is about 150, this should leave me with a healthy BMI. I am not sure if I will be able to go that low because I am 5'9" with a muscular build. I decided to came back because in my teen years I was very belimic and I have been comptemplating this again. I want to be healthy for my kids.

I crashed on my motorbike and hurt my ankle and foot, so until it heals I am going to start with eating right and doing strength training and some walking on the treadmill if it doesn't hurt.

Another reason I want to get in shape is because we wnat to have another baby in the next two years and I weigh more now than the day I had my last baby. I cringed through the weight ins with the last one and don't want to do that again. I want to be healthy.

I think I went on long enough This time it is going to work.

You've come to the right place - welcome! Sounds like the ankle injury is a turning point for you to begin a change. The injury itself isn't good but the end result is going to be a blessing! Good for you! Kristi :o) <><
