Hello, I just joined today and am looking forward to this worthwhile adventure. I do not necessarily have a weight goal in mind but more of a "feel right" goal. I want to feel better for myself ... try to get off of some of my medications ... quit running out of breath so quickly... and hopefully live a long more healthful life. This is the beginning of my journey and I am excited to see where it leads me and the new friends I will meet along the way. I have 2 children 24yrs old and 17 years old, I am a full time student, work part time, and am caring for an elderly parent. I have lived in the Des Moines, Iowa area most of my life. Chaos is a constant visitor to my life as is Depression and probably two of the biggest sabotouers of reaching the healthful life that I want.

    Welcome aboard. You have come to the right place. I have been on here for about 2 and a half months. I have over 180 friends on here now and add more daily. The support and motivation is excellent. I love to see others status updates and such, and most of the time I try to reply to them, but some days when I work long hours I do not get too. I am sending you a friend request. Good luck to you.
