Hello Everyone
I am new to this website. I have about 142 pounds to lose to be where I want to be which is the healthy range. I have battled my weight all my life and this time is the last. I am determined to do it. It will be nice to weigh less than my husband for the first time ever. I won't lie, this is going to be a big challenge for me because I LOVE food.
I am ready to be able to walk up stairs and not lose my breath!!

Hey,
Well know that we are here to support you. I too am new to this site-just joined yesterday. I have 120 lbs. to loose and I am determined to do it this time. We can help each other out! Good Luck and try to stay positive. I have set smaller goals for myself so that the amount that I need to loose does not seem too overwhelming. It may help you as well! Becky0 -
