Hello Friends,
I've been logging my info for the past week and am enjoying this site tremendously. I've been understanding where I tend to over indulge and when I should work out more. I am 100 pounds over weight and have to lose it to be healthy and stop taking so many pills. I have high blood pressure, high cholestrole and am borderline diabetic. I'm 29 going on 30 in a week and people are still shocked when they hear that. This just proves that no matter what age you are, bad choices cause bad health. If that makes any sense.

My husband has been steadily losing weight and so has my Mom. I don't want to be left behind, nor do I want to be a follower. I just want to be content with how I feel each day in my skin, clothes and mind. I am going to do this and just need support where I can get it. This seems to be a great place to get it and give support in return. So here's to the beginning of my new life and the end of my old life.

Sandra O.
