Hi I'm new

GwenaLW

Hi, I just joined today. This looks like a great tool! I look forward to getting to know some of you, sharing our successes and struggles and walking this journey together.

I am a single Mom of two teenage sons. I work full time and am also a band Mom at my sons' high school. I absolutely love teenagers! No, I am not crazy (okay, maybe a little), but my son told me last week, "Mom, you should be a Bus Mom. Apparently all the kids love you." Wow! For a teenage boy to say that, I'm floored. But I do love those kids and they know it!

I weighed 107 lbs. before my first pregnancy. Gained 43 with the first and 23 with the second, never took it off, then gained some more. At one point I was all the way up to 204 lbs. I am only 5'2" tall. So, I am definitely in the obese category and my BMI is currently 36. That's at 197.7 pounds as of yesterday.

I want to get to a healthy weight and look and feel good about myself. Hope you will join me in supporting each other!
