Hello.
I'm new to the site. I heard about it from a video I saw on MSN just today. I was curious to see what this site was all about when I saw a video about a woman who lost 141 pounds just from joining this site. I was inspired, so now I'm doing something about my weight. I have a 7 month old son and I don't want to be out of shape for him. I need to be healthy for him, my husband, and myself.

I hope I meet some inspirational people on this site who can help me through this war. :smile:

    Hi There,
    Me too! I just watched the video and also signed up. I have 2 children--both c-sections. My husband is also overweight with a prominent family history of heart disease and diabetes. My oldest son is starting to gain weight and I fear that he has inherited my husband's genes. I am hoping that through this website not only can I make myself healthier but my family too. I love to cook and my husband is starting to explore so this is a great time for us to experiment and find healthier foods to enjoy. Good luck with you goals and nice to meet you!
