Hi ::waving:: I’m pretty new to Leanne’s place and when I checked her blog I was thrilled to see the Pounds2Go site. Sure, I always want to lose weight and get healthy every January, but this year it’s a little more important and I need a little more help doing it.

I was so sick with my pregnancy that I ate nothing but pringles, poptarts and pb crackers. I threw up about five times a day for eighteen weeks. It was horrible. I gained sixty-five pounds as a result of my inability to stay active or eat healthy. Out of that sixty-five pounds, I gave birth to an 8 pounds baby, lost 40 pounds pretty quickly, and have worked really hard to get ten more out of the way. I’m sitting at ten pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight and 20 over my target weight. I’d like to be 140 when I get pregnant with number 2. Only thing is, we’re going ot start trying this summer, which means I gotta get busy (not THAT kind of busy, y’all! Ok, well, yes, that kind but not yet..)

Anyway, I didn’t know if I should join since I don’t really know anyone and I’m kinda shy. However, after reading Running2K’s entries, I totally related and thought I’d like to participate, too.

So, here I am, in all my 160 pounds of glory saying that tomorrow morning I really REALLY need to work out and I’m all about pushing the water intake. From what I’ve read on y’all entries, sounds like it’s a great place to start. So, here’s to six months of hard work for, hopefully, the best reward possible.
