Hi, my name is Cassie. I am the proud mamma of a 4.5 year old daughter and a 22 month son. I am a nurse and I live in rural Kansas.

In the fall last year, I was not feeling well so I took my blood pressure at work and it was high. I have a strong family history of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and I had gestational diabetes with both my pregnancies. This was the wake-up call I needed to get me motivated to start getting fit and losing the 50+ excess pounds I am carrying.

Since January, I have been doing WW at home (with a kit I bought in 2003). So far, I have lost 15 pounds. But, I am starting to loose motivation! So, I am hoping that I can find the motivation to keep up the good work I have already started.

Looking forward to getting to know some people on here!

Welcome Cassie!! I am a newbie too!! Rural Kansas uh?? That is where my husband is from...!! Congrats on the 15lbs loss that is a great start!! Keep it up!!

Hugs
Nikki
