New here

Hi everyone. My name is Carolanne and I decided to get back into exercising and taking care of myself. I recently gave birth to a set of twins for a close friend..yes, I am a surrogate, four times over....and have four children of my own. Although I am not extremely overweight, I could lose about 10-15 pounds to take some pressure off my joints as I learn to deal with arthritis. I currently live in a small community so there is no need to drive as I tend to walk everywhere but my eating habits are wreaking havoc with any benefits the walking has for me.

I look forward to getting to know others here in the coming days and weeks.
