Hi. My name is Ally and I'm 28. I live in Reno, NV. I am 5'7 and 3/4s (yes it counts :) ) and weigh 280lbs. This is down from 321 at my highest when I was pregnant. I have a 21 month old gorgeous little girl, who I have to lose this weight for. It not only holds me back from everything I want to do in my life, but it has the potential to permanently take me from my daughter. I have been some how lucky enough to not have any health problems attributed to my weight, but I don't want to get any. I want to be be able to run after my daughter, and be the mom she deserves. So it starts today. I have already been to see a nutritionist and know what I need to do on that end. I now need to start excercising and get my butt in gear.

So there..it's in black and white.. hopefully this site will keep me motivated! I'm not turning 30 and being fat! On top of that... I'm single...it's much easier to chase a hot guy down when you don't fall over out of breath! :)

I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Ally

Welcome to the board Ally. Congratulations on the 41 lbs already lost. That's a great start! It's a good thing that you're seeing a nutritionist at the beginning. I did get a lot of good advice from a nutritionist when I first started.


Good luck in your journey, please keep us posted
