Good Morning All! I am new to this site. I am really excited and hopeful this time. It seems I woke up one morning and was fat! I have tried WW and every other diet out there. My doctor recommend this site to me. I returned to school in 2011 and just packed on 45 pounds. I sat and thought about why I want to lose the extra weight. My husband tells me I am beautiful regardless. My family and friends love me as is. So why I asked am I doing this. For me! This is not for anyone but me. I want to be healthy. I want to grow old with my husband. I want to keep up with our five dogs, and let me tell you that is work! Whew : ) My families history is another strong motivator. My mom had a stroke in 2006 and I lost my dad to cancer in 2007. So my journey begins. I look forward to doing this together with everyone and keep us honest, motivated and strong. We got this!!!
