Taking the first step!
 

Hi everyone. I wanted to introduce myself and join the group.

I'm Jessica, and I'm overweight. Over the last 2 years, my bad eating habits combined with a crazy work and nursing school schedule allowed 50 lbs to creep onto my body. I realized here and there that I was gaining weight but never saw the whole 50 lbs until a couple of months ago when I was looking at pictures from my daughter's 4th birthday party.
I'm tired of feeling awful, both physically and emotionally, and I want to be able to play on the playground with my daughter and mow the grass without feeling like I'm going to die.
So....I stumbled on this site the other night and I'm truly excited to start this journey with all of you. I've read some of your stories and I'm so inspired.

So, hi! Here I go! Wish me luck!
