New here and looking for some new friends

Hi there,
Well, the New Year is here and with it another resolution to lose weight and keep it off. I hope I can stick with it this time!!! So, I'm looking for some new friends to help me along the way and I will return the favor and help you :-) I am 39, a mom to 4 sons, have some serious arthiritis issues already and REALLY need to get this weight off! I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you and hopefully chat sometime. Good luck to all! :-)
