Introduction-Lynn

Hi, I'm "Lynn". I'm a married, stay at hom mom of two. I've never been skinny, but have been moving slowly moving away from slightly chubby to severly obese over the past several years. I've tried several things, weight watchers, no carbs, etc. and have lost weight several times, only to put it back on. Now that I'm a mom and 30 is right around the corner, I've decided to change my life. I'm sick of being fat and unhealthy. I'm sick of not fitting into any cute outfits, being embarrased of the way I look, being out of breath going up a flight of stairs, etc. I want to set a good example for my children and I also want to have the energy to run around and play with them. Every single day I think about how I need to lose weight, work out, etc. but I continue to do it. I've decided that enough is enough and I'm changing my lifestyle once and for all. I started this blog with my sister, "Michelle" so we can hold each other accountable, have a place to track our progress and also a place to post ideas, recipes, thoughts, etc. I'm excited to finally turn my life around and get healthy. I joined a gym that is right across from my neighborhood. I've got out all my old Weight Watcher information for reference, I've gone grocery shopping for healthy food to stock our fridge and pantry, I've stocked our Pinterest with tons of outfits that I want to fit into (I love fashion, and being able to fit into cute outfits is a major motivater for me) and I'm ready to go.

I'm 5'11 and my starting weight is 230.9

I have several long term and short term goals that I'll post in an upcoming post. My first goal is to lose enough weight to be considered "overweight" instead of "obese".

Here's my before pictures. I usually lounge around the house in old maternity clothes, which is very embarrasing. Instead of changing for these pictures, I wanted them to truly reflect how I look now for comparison later when I hopefully dress in normal, decent clothes around the house.
