Greetings all.

I've been struggling with my weight since I was a teenager and I'm just tired of it. I always swore to myself that I would lose this weight and get healthy by the time I was 40. Well 40 is only 13 months away so I've decided now is the time.

My husband actually found this site for me and has also joined to support me. I'm so tired of not jumping in on the activities that he and our three sons enjoy doing because I tire so easily. I'm ready to get healthy not only for me but for them.

This site seems like it offers a lot of great advice and support which is just what I need!!!

Glad to "meet" you all!!! :happy:

    welcome! One of my big motivations to be here is to keep up with my sons as well. Even though I don't have a lot of weight to lose, I was/am winded after the slightest activity and can't wait to change that.

    It is so wonderful you have such a supportive husband as well! Good luck on your journey!

    Welcome, if you'd like to friend me please do so. I think this site is awesome. It makes it easy to really see the weight and inches come off, I eat what ever I want in porion control and moderation...cake and pizza is still apart of my diet :) I love how I can work out more to balance a higher calorie day. My only struggle was I got cocky last fall and thought I didn't need the site. I gain a couple pounds back but was mostly able to maintain but didn't lose any further, I know someday there may not be a need for the site, but not until my eating portions and habits are completely where they need to be. But honestly, I think the site just puts things into reality you must burn what you eat or you'll gain, and to lose I need to burn more than I eat. Good luck and if you two want to friend me I'd love to add you to my support team and me to yours :)
