Just received an email from a friend who recommended this site, and I am excited about what I see. I am trying to shed about 60 pounds- weight that I put on after my 3rd child, who is now 4 years old! I have not really tried, although I have had to fight my weight all of my life- when I quit fighting, I got big. My outlook has always been "I only get to live once so if I want a brownie topped with ice cream and whipped cream drizzled in hot fudge, I am not going to deny myself".... and I still feel that way, to a degree.
I have started my venture as a result of being sick for a week and my appetite was cut in half! I am trying to keep portions small, and I am trying to watch what I do eat. I do not go to a gym, but I do get some exercise (not enough to get fit, I know that).
Maybe once I start really taking off he weight, I will feel more momentum towards my goal. I do know that I am tired of wearing a size 3 x- and I am determined to do something about it. This is so hard, I wish there was a magic cure but there is not!

I am going to give this a whirl and see how it goes. Glad to be here :)
