I am a newbie too!

Hi everyone!

I am so excited to be on this site. I think its so cool to be able to have something to track your every move (that you are able to input) both in meals and exercise. I have tried to diet a few times in the past, but nothing as serious as I am trying to be now! I really really want to change! I think this in awesome community. I have been browsing through posts and you all seem pretty nice and encouraging. I have even solicited my peers to come and join so that we can all stay connected and encourage each other! I know I have a long road ahead of me, and I am praying that I can stay focused to reach my goal. I am a mother to 4 children and for various reasons just had began to let myself go. I have never been a very petite person, nor am I trying to be in the end. I just want to be smaller and healthier. I want to live a long life for me and my children, so I am going to do the best I can to be successful here.
