Hi gals! I'm excited about being on the black team. After several years of watching TBL and lamenting about my changing (over 40) body and feeling defeated, I finally have accepted what I have to do. In February, DH and I did a consultation for lapbands. Our insurance turned us both down. Which is okay because it really wasn't the route I wanted to go; but would have if that is what it took to get the weight off. But, shortly after the consultation, I joined the local fitness center and fell in love with working out again. Since that consultation, I've lost about 12 pounds and feel successful again. I am partcipating in the Fitness Center's Biggest Loser challenge that started about 3 weeks ago.

My other ultimate dream would be to have the skills to train them really well on my own. That includes the dogs because they rule the roost. My horror is that since we've moved to the country, I find myself turning into my mother!!!!! Secret fantasy about self: To be muscled and in kick *** shape for my rapidly approaching 50's.
