    Hello, my name is Cassandra. I live in Southeast Texas. I have trying to lose the weight for the last 10 years since the birth of my daughter. I weigh 238lbs my goal is 150. My daughter always tell me that she wants to see what I look like skinny. I have been trying to lose weight mainly for health reasons, but now I would like to do it for me and my daughter. I joined this website today to see what it can offer. I am looking forward to much support. This will be a challege for me.
