Hi All,

My name is Katrina Granter and I am 33 years old. I have been overweight all my life - but after I got married in 1999 and quit smoking, I gained an absorbent amount of weight. My husband and I have always said "we'll lose start dieting tomorrow"...well, guess what - tomorrow never comes. We've made a decision about 45 days ago to do it TODAY, get healthy TODAY - doing it for ourselves and our 3 beautiful children (girl 7, boy 4, boy 14 months). To date, I've lost 22 lbs and 28" in 6 weeks!!! My husband has lost 29.4 lbs as well. We are so much happier, so much more energy - and our kids are noticing...we went out the other day to the grocery store, my daughter pipes up from the back seat and says..."HEY, you guys are both wearing jeans...I can't remember the last time that you wore jeans!!!" I tell you - you can't beat that feeling!!!!

I joined the group to both get support and give it to those who need it!!! Replies/comments/etc welcome!!!

Thanks!

Congrats on your losses so far! And you're right, there's never a "tomorrow" when it comes to taking care of yourselves.

Feel free to add me if you'd like some weight loss buddies. Mine have been a huge help over the last few months. :happy:
