Hi I am Vetty, I am new here. This is my first attempt in a long time to really try and lose weight. I am the mom of 4 kids a 6yrold, 5 yr old, and twin 2yr olds. I wish I could blame it all on baby weight but I can't. I was always a big girl but active in sports so I was muscualr and "thick" is what I was called in high school. Anyway I want to get healthy so I can manage to run around with my kids for more than 5 minutes. I hope to find a thinner and healthier me here from using the tools of the site and new found friends.
