So much to Loose

I'm new to the site and I love it. I just started working out and paying attention to my food intake and I love this site because it helps me keep track of both things. I have a long journey ahead of me, but hopefully it won't be by myself. So if you are like me and have tons to loose please comment or join me. God knows I need all the motivation I could get. Plus I sometimes feel like I'm the only one in the world dealing with weight issues. So let me tell you a little about myself. I'm soon going to be 31, have 4 kids, and severely overweight. I'm not going to have any more children so I think is time for me to get my body back! Another reason for me to get back in a healthy weight is that my mom has diabetes and well I don't want to get that just from being careless. I want to be here for my kids and be able to do all the things they want to do. The plan? Well, I went to my doctor and told him about my struggles with weight, he recommended I go in a 1200 calorie diet and do P90X for life! Since I tried so many things without any success, I decided to do it and keep a good record of things and hopefully I can get a few buddies that like me are struggling with weight issues.
