Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I need to lose about 90 pounds. I've been trying for 15 years to lose this weight, I am ready. I hope to meet others like me for moral support. I am 43, married, the mother of a 14-year-old son, and a jewelry designer. I am also a 13-year breast cancer survivor and I truly worry about my health every day, which I believe makes me eat more. Obesity runs on my father's side and I really want to nail this thing. Never too late, right? Thanks :)

    Lets cheer us all on! We are all newbies!! LOL I have a low blood sugar problem so I have to eat every few hours. This is day two - so far so good. I'm a regular exerciser! I'm 53 and want to lose 18 pounds, 20 would be nice. :)
