in Introduce Yourself
Hello all, I'm Lisa, I'm a marreid working woman, suffering from a bad case of empty nest sydrome. My oldest son has been in the Military for a year now, and it has been rough. I have decided to lose 40 lbs. and start a new life, traveling and boating, and doing whatever me and the Hubby want to do, the sky is the limit...right? We lost our youngest son, 12 years ago, in an accident, thats when I started gaining, and gaining, and gaining. Well, I'm ready for some change, and I'm not giving up this time, until I reach my goal, Oh and we got a puppy :smooched:

    He is a lab great pyrenese mix. We named him Big O, because he's a big o dog, with big o feet, lol. He is growing fast, and is so smart, he already has learned to fetch, and loves the challenge of getting treats from his Kong toy, he so funny to watch, he's big and clumsy, but a good puppy non the less. He's about 4 mos old now.
