Finally making healthy choices, and ready for help. :)

Hi there! Well, after many years of trying many times to lose weight, and just going back to my old ways... I finally think I found a great diet I can truly live with... and since my new husband is joining me on this quest for both of us to get healthy for our son (his biological 7 year old son is my new step-son... and a great motivation for losing weight so we can both be here for him for a long time).... I am excited about this journey. Finding this website/phone app was a Godsend.... We started this diet one week ago today, and have tracked everything all week long... it's been incredibly helpful... and I am thrilled to see this community that I can come to for additional support!

In the first week alone, I've lost 4 pounds and my husband has lost 3. I'm encouraged, and because what we're doing is so easy and convenient for us, I truly think with all the support.... we can make it this time!

I have a very long way to go.... I need to lose over 150 pounds to be healthier... but I also know I need to keep a positive attitude and celebrate every lost pound. I've been very encouraged and motivated by the success stories I've seen so far on this site, and so excited to join all of you!

FYI... I'm 39, a cat lover (I have four!), have a very energetic stepson that we have full-time, am an office manager (in other words, I sit on my butt at work all day LOL)... and have a great sense of humor. I just got married on April 16, 2011 after finally finding my prince charming... and am very happy with my life. Now, I want my outside to reflect my insides.... and lose this darn weight once and for all! ;-)
