and so it begins

Hi, I'm new here. This site came highly recommended from a couple friends. I have a short term and long term goal. I feel that focus and consistency will be my struggle. I work full time, go to school full time and have two little ones (they are mine all mine and I don't get support of any sort from the bio-doner). I have one more year in the nursing program (ASN), though I will be going on to get my BSN. I am, in my opinion, 60-70 lbs over weight. I have a definite want to drop the weight, to get heathy and stay fit. It's promising to see all the possitive posts on this site. Good luck to all of you.
