Hi, Jody!! Welcome to the forum and TONS of good luck with your goal!!
As for your weight, I'm not sure what is height/weight proportionate for someone your size and gender, but it doesn't sound like you're TOO overweight, however, just a word of warning (and this goes for anyone else that's packed on a few pounds), do yourself a favour and try to lose a bit of it! I'm, technically, still skinny, except for my belly. I'm at least 100 Lbs. overweight!! But, today I had to run up 2 hills after running a whole block, to try to catch the bus, the second hill was MUCH steeper than the first!! By the time I started up the second hill, I was ready to collapse having to carry all this extra weight after all that running!! The best I could do was TRY to power walk that hill!! It took me nearly the rest of the bus ride home (nearly 10 minutes!) to catch my breath!! I would suggest you try to dump some weight! I SURE am gonna try!!
Take care!! :-)
