Hello Everyone, I am here because I have progressively, since the birth of my child, gained weight. Being an avid "Biggest Loser" fan, I finally became motivated to stop the weight gain. I joined a T.O.P.S (Take off Pounds Sensibly) Club locally to make myself accountable for the food I was putting in my body. I have a 2 year old that I want to be around for as long as possible. At the rate I was going, I would have ended up with Heart Disease or Cancer or something with my kind of luck. I have decided to take hold of my life and choose how long I will be here or at least help prolong my life a few more years.

Well, I commend everyone here that made the same choice I did and best of luck to you in your journey to a healthy life!!

  • HI,
    Just wondering what part of Maine. I grew up in Biddeford, still have family in Kennebunk. Miss home but love my travels with the military.
