Hi Everyone. I'm a 44-year old woman from the southern USA. My family consists of my husband and my 9-year old son. Due to various illnesses and injuries I haven't been able to exercise in almost three years. I picked up some very bad eating habits during this time and I lost the will to eat healthy.
I've taken the first steps today to start losing the 80 lbs. I need to drop to reach my target weight. In the past its always been easier when I keep a food diary and I'm glad to have found this site to track everything electronically. I'm looking forward to becoming a part of the community, gaining the support needed for this journey and being able to be supportive and help motivate others like me.
