Hi everyone! I hope it isn't too late to join this month.
I am Kristin, and I am brand-new to the boards. I am 33 and a full-time high school teacher and mom to 2 (6 year old DD and 4 year old DS). My husband and I have been married for almost ten years. In our free-time, we love spending time together and planning our next Disney trip (a nine day trip coming up in June). We went last summer, and honestly, although my weight didn't affect my ability to get around the parks, I was embarrassed to see myself in the pictures. My goal is to lose 39 lbs.(bringing me to 140) before we go on our trip in June, so that I can proudly frame and display my photos of my favorite people in our favorite place (and so I can be healthier overall, of course). Additionally, my husband was recently diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, so we are working as a family to gain some healthier habits.
For October, my goal is to lose 4 lbs. I will do this through watching what I eat (I am using an app called iTrackBites which is similar to Weight Watchers) and through trying to increase my exercise. I look forward to getting to know you all and wish you the best of luck!!
