New to group

Hello all - I am a new member of the group. I am a married, mom of 2. 34 years of age and I live in NW Houston. I have about 25 pounds to lose. I'm just starting out on my healthy, living journey and am glad I found this group and site for support and needed information.

I'd love to get to know some of you better and perhaps maybe a group workout. If anyone is in NW Houston, (45 and 1960) let me know.

Welcome to the group, Erica...

I felt obligated to reply, as my name is Erica too...and I have to support a fellow "Erica"!  I am in NE Houston (59 and Belt. 8).  I am a married mom of 2--39 years old, and new to the website.  It has already been an eyeopener for me.  My goal is to be my "ideal" weight by the time I turn 40 in May.  Every since the kids came around...I fell into the mommy-trap of making sure everyone else is taken care of, except myself...so the weight creeped on (worse with the second one).  I want to lose 30 lbs, and have lost 5 so far...but I think those were the easy pounds (I gave up regular soda...).  I am trying to eat healthy, cut out as much high fructose corn syrup as possible, and set a great example for my kids to use as their foundation for a healthy life.
