Hello, I'm 39 and sick of being overweight! I have 4 daughters and a wonderful husband, and I am in school full time. I am ready to spend some time on ME! I found this site and it looks great! I was glad to see it is free and there is alot of support from other people. My goal is 50 pounds, and I would love to be at least halfway there by march, when my husband and I go on a cruise to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I would love to actually be in some of the pictures and not cringe when I look at them, and be able to show them to friends and family. Well, here goes day#1!!

    Welcome!

    I think 25lbs by March is a very reasonable goal. Can't wait to see those cruise photos!

    Congrats on almost 20 years of marriage. That's AMAZING!!!
