Weight Loss Journey

I'm going to start eating healthier and working out. I bought Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred a while ago and never started it. I'm going to do that and try out ZUMBA. :D I want to get healthy for my kids and family. Adam keeps saying he wants to lose weight so, I'm going to see if I can get him on the weight loss wagon with me. I'm going to use the blog to keep track of my exercise and weight. I weigh 230lbs and wear a size 22-24 which is the biggest I've been when not pregnant. The biggest I've ever been was 267 and that was the day I had Benjamin. :(

I'd love to get down to 130lbs that is my happy weight (I think. I've never been that small.) My first goal is to lose 23 lbs, which is 10% of my total body weight, which when lost is supposed to lower your risk of Type II Diabetes (which runs in my family), Heart Diesease, Heart Attacks and alot of other things. When I reach that goal I'm going to get myself some new gym/workout shoes.
