in Introduce Yourself
Hi All,

My best friend introduced me to this forum. She has had such success that I just had to try. I've tried TONS of different diet plans, and have been successful with each...for awhile. At the end of all that, I'm now the heaviest I've ever been. I have an 8 year-old son and a 19 month-old daughter and want to live long enough to see them grow up. At the rate I'm going, that won't happen. So I've prayed a lot and made the decision that the way I've been living has to stop. I am determined to get to my ideal weight so I can see my kids have kids! I know it won't be an easy road, but I'm ready to get started! And it's nice to know that there will be others there with me on the same road, helping me each step of the way. Thanks to all those who will share this journey with me!

    Welcome, and I love your goals (sustaining yourself to see your children grow). That's good, but also get healthy so you feel better and can continue to be one who enjoys life and society. That's important.

    Here's to your future successes (disregard the little hiccups!)!
