in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! My name is Angela & I just joined yesterday, thanks to my aunt! I'm looking forward to this journey...I think! LOL! I'm 39, have 2 boys, and have been married for 18 years. I live in Manitoba Canada, and we're starting to feel the fall weather already! :( I have approx. 140lbs to shed, and feel quite overwhelmed at the task ahead of me.

    You can do it! Most users are super supportive and if the number itself seems too daunting, try breaking it down into mini goals or goals not associated with the number on the scale!
