Hello from Ohio

I am very new here...only about a week and a half. About 4 years ago I was a stay at home mom, and I happened to lose about 35 lbs with hard work and determination. I lost that determination once I went back to work 3 years ago. I gained it all back and then some. I decided very recently to really try again.
I have 3 great kids who, thankfully, like the healthy stuff I've been making. I am also married and he'll like the healthy stuff no matter what. I am hoping my changes will encourage him to change his eating/lazy habits.

Anyway, that's all to there is to know about me....

    Hi there! I'm new to Ohio (been here a year but still feel new). I don't have a lot of friends, and I am struggling to lose some weight. Looking to make some new friends, find some support and offer the same. Anyone out there?
