Here we go....N.California checking in!

Hello every one! I'm Gwen, 39, and mom to 3 tyrants Today is day 8 of keeping track of calories though I joined MFP probably 6 days ago. I did the low carb thing for about a year several years ago and lost 70lbs in one year- I loved it! Sadly, over the years, the weight crept back up to where now, well, last week, I was within 5lbs of my highest weight ever- and that was when I was carrying TWINS!
Despite my weight, I'm actually pretty healthy but, its getting harder and harder to do things and I don't want to have to wonder if I'll actually still be able to fit in the roller coaster rides with my kids (I barely made one)! I'm also an Assistant Scoutmaster and well, being obese doesn't exactly provide a nice role model.

So anyway, here I am, 4.5-5 lbs gone this week! Wouldn't it be awesome to have those numbers every week??!!
Let me know if you're in/around the Sacramento area, esp. in Nevada County!
