A little about myself

Well, I'm 23 years old and from south Texas. I've been happily married for almost 2 years now and have a wonderful 1yr old boy who always keeps me busy. I've been overweight now since about the fourth grade. My husband disagrees with me but i know he's just being nice, I love you babe. I really don't like the weight i am and now that i have a son i don't want it to get out of hand. I want to do it now while i can and finally stop having a reason not to do things. Well, I have tried many many diets and all have failed...I guess i just get impatient and want to lose big numbers. Sure it would happen during the first week but after that i would just get more and more discouraged as the days passed. But I've decided that i'm not going to try anymore of these ridiculous fad diets. I'm just going to start exercising, try to eat smaller portions, and drink lots of water. I don't know how this will turn out but I'm going to give it a shot for about two months(which is longer than I've ever spent on a diet). After all i have nothing to lose, except for hopefully a few pounds lol.
