Just saying "Hello"

Hi All,

I've been a lurker for a couple weeks now and you all are terrific! the support, recipes are definatley what I need to shed some pounds/inches.

I'm a 25yo female from Southern California and I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I weighed 135 in fifth grade and it only escalated from there. Im a full time working mom of 1. She is a year and a half years old. I only gained 12 pounds during my pregnancy so i cant blame that for my weight. I've weighed 223-25 for the past 3 years. i've tried so many different types of diets (even the Shangrai-la diet, yuck!) and i havent had much success. A support group may just be what i need!

I look forward to getting to know you all

-Alex
