Introduction Text I am a young mother and have struggled with my weight my entire life. After the birth of my daughter, it got a lot worse. She is almost a year old, and it is time for change. I want to be healthier for her and my family. I would love to get down to my target weight (145lbs). I have not been this weight since I was a freshman in high school. I don't remember what it feels like to be this thin (although I hear it's wonderful). I want to get excited about clothes shopping. I want to look nice in clothes and find clothes that fit me well. Right now it is such a struggle to fit into anything. My husband and I are trying for our second child, and of course I want to be more healthy for my future pregnancy. I have started a C25K running program. I hope to turn into a runner. I also have done P90x, which I love, but I am not ready to give it 100% yet. So far, watching my calories, running 3x a week, and keeping up with my daughter and SparkFriends is keeping me busy.

Start: 10/24 - 195lbs. Eventually - 145lbs. Reward: New wardrobe! 10/29 - 190 11/5 - 187.5 11/12 - 185lbs Run: 3x a week for 3 weeks. Reward: Shopping trip to Kohl's for new running clothes. : ) Future: I will set when I get there. Baby Steps!

I track my calories every day thanks to SparkPeople! Stay within range at least 5x a week. I started a C25K program on 10/24. I run/walk 3x a week. As I get better managing my time, I hope to add in something else. Has anyone tried Zumba?

I am originally from central California, but moved to Washington State with my hubby. We have been married since 2005, and our first child was born in December 2010. My email is vmputman@aol.com.
