Hi guys and gals,

My name is Verna and Im 35. I stepped on the scale the other day like a foolio to just get depressed :mad: .....but do something about it! I want to lose at least 125 lbs, yes I know thats a lot, but I think I can I think I can I think I can!!! :laugh:
I just started eating better on MONDAY the 16th and exercising a little each day.

I have 3 kids ages 17, 10 and 9 and I wanna be around for them for a long time! I am also married to the love of my life, Mike, 43, who has always loved me no matter what size I am.

I was always the bigger kid growing up and then I lost a buttload of weight before my freshman year of High School....it really saddened me to see how the kids treated me better when I was thinner, and like crap when I fat so I've always looked at people for whats inside and not on the outside :flowerforyou:

I live in Kansas at the moment but will be relocating to the Seattle, Washington area in summer...I am looking forward to dropping some weight so I can enjoy the outdoor activities WA has to offer without being winded.

If you'd like to be friends, add me! Looking forward to getting healthier with all of you!
Verna

    welcome! I started 6 months ago and I've lost 58 pounds so far! I have another 100 to go (or thereabouts)... and I know I will!

    I'm 36 and a mom, too :) feel free to friend me if you'd like! I know I couldn't have done this without the support I've found here.
