Hello! :smile: I'm Suzi... another newbie! I'm 33 and 74 lbs. overweight. I've been up and down on the scale my whole life - and I'm ready to be back on the "down" side of the spectrum!! I'm a busy mom to 5 kids - and I find myself so busy with taking care of my family, that I just don't take very good care of myself. I'm ready to change that! I don't know why this time I know that I will stick with it - but something in my brain just "clicked" - enough is enough! I'm not going to self destruct anymore! I deserve to be healthy and happy, and my family deserves a Mom/Wife that is strong, healthy, and happy. I just joined Friday, and this website has been great for motivating me to really think about planing everything that I put in my mouth. I love how much more energy I have when I exercise, and the satisfaction I feel when I log in the exercise and see how many calories I've burned off of my body! I'd love to find a support system here - so if you'd like, feel free to add me as a friend! :happy:

    Hi Suzi! I've been here for about 5 weeks now and love this site (I'm addicted....planning my meals, logging my exercise, it's like a game!). Would love to have you as a friend to help keep each other motivated. You sound like you've got a really powerful reason to do this, so you will succeed! :smile:
