Hey guys,

I am new to this site, and frankly, new to trying to better my life. I have always grown up overweight, lacking self-confidence, assuming I had no control over the way I looked. Sure, I have tried here and there in the past to do something about it, but with no immediate results, so I gave up. I have come to the realization that I can do something about it, I can improve my life, I can gain confidence. I am here as a newbie, willing to learn and take advice from those who are willing to offer it.

I recently weighed myself, and to my horror, have reached a point I never thought I would get to. I have a husband, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a loving family, and I know I want to be around a lot longer. I want to have children and I want to be healthy. So, I am here, I am optimistic, and I am committed.

I welcome and support and advice and friendship from anyone who would like it in return.
