Hello all. I am trying to get myself in shape and really look forward to meeting some great people here.

I am married with 2 kids and will be going back to work soon as a Swim Instructor and Lifeguard.

As you see, I have my work cut out for me. :wink:

    Thank you for the welcome note. You are right this a good thing for me to hold myself accountable. I have tried soooo many diets! I am really hoping this time I will get it together! I am telling myself almost everyday that even if I do not lose a pound it is worth it because it is healthy for my body!
