My name is Susan. I am the mother of 5 beautiful, adopted children who light up my life along with my wonderful hubby. I have about 180 pounds to lose. I need all the help I can get. I have been overweight since I was about 9 or 10. Everyone used to tell me that I was 'big boned'. I don't like that label. It makes it seem like I don't have the ability to change myself.

I have a blog that you are welcome to check out. I log my weight each day along with any struggles or triumphs I have had. The blog is www.winningthewaronfat.blogspot.com

    Welcome! Just remember that you do have the ability to change yourself, and you will!

    (PS it has been my dream to adopt my children since I was a little girl! Hopefully in the next three to five years I will begin that process. :bigsmile: )
