No More Fat Birthdays!

Hi all!
One of the girls at my Zumba class the other night told me about this site and I decided to give it a try. I turned 35 yesterday and made a promise to myself that this would be my last overweight birthday. I don't like the way I feel so I've decided it's time to get up on it because I know it won't get any easier as I get older!

I've pretty much been overweight since I hit puberty. I look at pictures of when I was a kid and don't remember being slim, just short. Once I did pass puberty I developed the large bust and hips that all the women on my mother's side of the family possess.

I love to dance, which is why Zumba is great for me. I get to dance and don't mind that I get all sweaty.

I'm really hoping that this site can give me a leg up and meet my goals. I know I have a rockin' body under all this flab. Can you guys help me find it?
