Hello I heard about this website this weekend at my sons graduation. The last of our babies has grown, graduated and move out. It's now time for the hubby and I. I started a weight loss challange at our local parks dept two weeks ago with my sister in law and niece. I have lost a total of 4 pounds. I'm not too happy about that but its a start. I have taken up walking with my niece when the weather permits....I live in Washington state so we have only been able to go out a few times so far. I used the diet tracker this morning and was very impressed. I quit smoking on Sept and promptly gained 20 pounds to add to the 30 pounds I already was over weight. I have a total of 50 pounds I would like to use. This still doesnt put me at my suggested weight of 122 pounds but honestly I havent weighed that much since I have been in junior high. LoL. So my journey begins............
