HI Everyone! from what I am reading I am like a bunch of you all here..tired of being overweight. I started last week at 185 and today i am 180. Yippee 5 pounds gone in a week,(surely initial water weight and body freaking out). I have 40 to go. Pretty daunting, but I have to do this or wrap my mind around the fact that I need to throw away my thin wardrobe and get over it! I have 2 great kids and a supportive husband, but I want my kids to grow up with a healthy and fit mom. My husband has seen that side before but I know he would really like to see it again..soon. Our 10 year anniversary is in April and I can't think of a better gift for both of us, a healthy and fit wife! Now that I have put this out there in cyberspace, hopefully it will keep me motivated and accountable. Off to the treadmill for an hour!
