Hi! I'm a 36 years old and this is my time. I have to lose weight, for me. I have to feel great, for me. That's why we are all here isn't it? LOL!! Ok, ok...I am hoping to make lots of friends here on MFP and get LOTS of support. I NEED IT! HAHAHAHHA! My husband and I married last month and we have 5 children ages 11-22! All of our children are athletic and my Hubbie is to. I gained 60 pounds in the last year and a half BUT I also quit smoking in January 2012!! GO ME!!!
