A friend of mine on facebook recommended this site, and I must say, I like what I see so far. I am 42 (soon to be 43), a mom and grandma, and a student again. I quit smoking 2 years ago and have gained quite a bit of weight and I was already overweight. I have been overweight since 1996, after my third pregnancy. I never lost the weight from having her, and I have put on lots more. I must say, when I saw that scale tip 200 lbs, I couldn't fathom it. It seemed surreal. Well, it's real. I am now pre-diabetic, with some health issues that come strictly from weight. I want to change the way I eat and move, and am looking forward to a new me!
