Hi everyone. Today is my first day at this site. I am really nervous about failing and not giving this my full effort. I REALLY need encouragement to KEEP PUSHING and to make an honest go of losing this weight. I have let myself go for way to long and now have 80 pounds that I desperately want OFF ME! My excuse of baby weight is now 9 years old and not a baby anymore. Any and all advice is and will be appreciated. Thanks in advance to all you wonderful new friends.
