I really don’t remember how I landed on this site, but I am so grateful that I did!  I need to be able to interact and relate to others that are in a similar situation as me.  I decided to lose weight and get healthy as a New Year’s resolution because I am miserable at the weight I am now.  I never worried about my weight before.  I ate what I wanted, when I wanted and seemed to be perfectly healthy and at an ideal weight until I got pregnant for my last child…then everything started going downhill.  I went from 145 lbs. to 214 lbs. in 10.5 years.  I have never been one to exercise or count calories and I hated drinking water.  I loved pop and drank it and it only for most of my life.  Since the New Year, I have not touched any at all and I really miss the carbonation and sugar that was in it.  I have tried the sparkling water, but it just is not the same thing.  I am trying to stay under 1550 calories a day and I think I have done pretty well with that.  Right now my biggest struggle is that I am lacking energy!  I am going to try to find some vitamins and see if that works.  I work out with Wii Fit and I actually enjoy it.  I try to do it for at least 45 mins. a day, but occasionally I will skip a day because you get really sore from it.  I am hoping that the weather will hurry up and get warmer so I can go out walking because I think that is one exercise that I will stick with.  I can’t afford a gym membership right now, so I am limited to what I can do.  If anyone has any great tips for diet or exercise, please let me know.  Thanks for reading! = )
