From "Fat" girl to "Hey Girl!"

I've been introduced to this site by a friend who is also seeking the same goal - weight loss. I hope that I'm not offending anyone with my subject line. But unfortunately the reality of what us females endure is the fact that if you're "bigger" you're automatically "fat". One of the reasons I'm making this a goal is maybe just to be on the same "New Years Resolution Hype" however - this is for a health reason as well. Recently diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic - and at the age of 30 - I am really needing to do something about it. I can talk/type/write/tweet/status update/check-in about it all day - but having results - that's what I'm seeking along with knowing I'm doing something for me - my health, and my future!
So CHEERS to the new year everyone - and I'm hoping just like you - I can stay motivated, and not lose sight of what this is all about.
Hoping you all embrace me as the "Newbie"
