Hi! My name is Janet, I'm married, have one child, a son. I live in Ohio, and would like to lose about 50 pounds. I lost about 25 pounds 2 years ago, but I couldn't maintain the "diet". I was told about this site just yesterday by my nurse practitioner and thought I would give it a try. Hopefully some of you can help keep me motivated because that seems to be my weak point. ( not to mention my sweet tooth!!) I just want to get healthy. Diabetes runs heavily in my family and I don't want to develop it. I'm 40 and my dad was in his late 40's when he developed diabetes. I want to break the chain. :)

    Hi Janet! My name is Sheila and I am 33. Also a mother, I have a 14 year old daughter and two sons, ages 6 and 2. I am also aiming to lose about 50 pounds. This site has been great for me! I have been here a little over 2 weeks and have lost 8 pounds in that time. If you make friends the support is amazing because we are all striving for the same goal- a healthier us. I wish you much luck and I will add you as a friend... we can be each others cheerleaders! :D
