35 year old mother of two great kids. I've been overweight most of my adult life but the last ten years I've spent being what's considered obese. I finally feel like I have the right frame of mind to do it this time. I started back in October 2009 at 265 lbs. My first goal is to get to 180 lbs which would give me a BMI under 30 and therefore no longer considered obese. Once that goal is attained I will be setting myself a new goal to achieve a BMI under 25.

New/Revised Goal: Lose 30 lbs by June 5th. Bit of a stretch but it's possible. As of 4/14/10 down 7.5 only 22.5 more to go and seven weeks to go....

Goal Update: As of 4/29: Down 12.5 only 17.5 more to go and five weeks to go!
