Welcome Michelle! You definitely have an achievable goal. Be sure to look around the Forums. There is a lot of good advice, support and motivation to be found here. Be sure to check out the Women's Only Forum. LOTS of great ladies there.

I wish you the best on your journey!!

Hi Michelle, your goal sounds very realistic. I'm 30 with 2 kids also, and new here too. Lots of good advice and tools on the site. Come on over to the Womens section.

Good for you in caring for yourself! I think that you're taking a great & wonderful step forward.

I hope to see you around. These forums have been a great experience for me. They don't expect perfection from me, and I feel like I can be myself around here.

Michelle, you asked for advice. I guess a piece of advice I have is to filter through advice and take on what works best for you! Some people like to start big, but I like to start small. That is, I like to take on one step at a time and gradually add in layers of habits. It's amazing what one or two changes in daily life can do!
