Hello All!

I am new to this. My friend told me about the site because she was turned onto it by her sister. I am a 33 year old working mother of two. I have decided that there are no more excuses, I need to loose at least 55 pounds.

I can't do it alone and my husband is not really any help. He likes to eat grease and unhealthy foods most of the time. He could eat pizza everyday but I won't. I am a major chocoholic! I eat chocolate everyday. I don't want to deprive myself of that but I know I can maintain it once I get there. I love to cook and try new foods as long as I have someone to share them with. I am going to start enlisting my almost 10 year-old as the guinea pig.

I hope I can stick with this and finally be happy in my own body again!!!

    Take it slow and educate yourself on healthy eating.

    The vita tops are delicious, too! I also drink Shakeology for my chocolate cravings, but I won't go into that on here. LOL

    Thank you for the post. I needed to see that. (dls 06)

    I think I need to find some vita brownies and vita tops. I bought some skinny cow mini frozen fudge pops today because they were only 45 calories. I like ice cream almost as much as chocolate.

    I'm new to site today also - I have 35-40 lbs to lose - I need all the help / support I can get - I have felt so lonely in this journey - probably why I have not been too successful on my own.
