okay, so I am praying that this is a way to hold myself accountable in this overwhelming venture of losing weight. How did I get here (here, being 50+ overweight)? I am a 46 year old mother of two young boys (9 & &), a great husband (who has recently lost 40 lbs). I am 5'1, barely and weigh 178 lbs! That is alot for such a short person! I am wondering, do I follow the 40 something group or the 5'2 and under group? Maybe I will dip into both? We will see. Either way, I intend to log in daily just to see what is happening here. I might get brave enough to post some pics soon--that should be motivation enough! My goal is to lose weight to regain my confidence. I love to dance, and have been doing so for many years! My group of adult women perform at various functions and recitals, but because of my weight...my confidence in my favorite hobby had taken a nose dive. Therefore so has my performance! ugh! I want my boys to be proud of their mom and I want my husband to see the new "old" me!
