hey everybody....I joined a couple of days ago and decided to go the whole 9 yards and post a blog. Welcome myself and make some pals. My name is Angie and I hope to lose 40-50lbs.:embarassed: I can do this, I keep telling myself. Before I joined I had already lost 12 pounds, so I have actually lost 13 so far. I am finally getting used to the smaller meals and excersizing more. i bought some weights today and plan on using them 3-4 times a week. Like everyone else I used to be in great shape, played sports in high school and then I got married and had children. Not that they are to blame. I just became content. Happy. Joyful. Being a Christian only made me more content. God loves me for me, fat or skinny. But I want to be smaller. I want my self confidence back. I want to feel better about myself. And live a better life for it.

Anyways, i am babbling and I need to stop. I look forward to getting to know everybody and I hope I can offer some support to each and everyone of you by saying "YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!":heart:
