I am new here and am excited to get started on my weight loss plan. My name is Laura and I grew up in a suburb of Chicago then moved to Kentucky where I have lived for the past 6 years, I am 31 years old and just had my first baby 6 weeks ago. My husband and I just celebrated our 2nd anniversey.

I started my diet on Saturday and already lost 5 pounds, I figure I will lose a lot the first few weeks due to water and I am so overweight. I started out at 288 and am now down to 283. My exercise has been tending to the baby, housecleaning, and working outside. I am in pretty good shape for 284 pounds, I have always been very active. This seems like a great place for support and modivation and I am glad I found it.. Ok I have to show off my new addition, here is a link if you want to see how cute he is.
