Hi,
I'm Lynn. I'm from New Jersey. I'm a 44 year-old working wife and mom. Weight has always been an issue for me but has gotten out of control since going back to work 3.5 years ago. I'm sick of how I look, sick of how I feel and ready for a change.
I belong to my local YMCA so I'm trying to get some time in the gym six days a week. I'm trying to eat better...on a really lousy budget.
Oh, and I went for my six month physical today. UGH! Highest weight EVER, even pregnant. Good news, cholesterol is ok, blood pressure is ok and thyroid is under control. Now it's time to tackle that 70 or so pounds...one day at a time.

WELCOME LYNN!!!! Turning 40 definitely has been a challenge with weight loss! Not to mention having body parts not quite where they used to be! It's definitely a journey and a challenge! If you are determined, you will do it!!!!0
