Default hello from down south

Hi all, I joined a few days ago and figured I better just jump right in and get started. An introduction seems like the best place to begin.
I am married and a mom. I was active in sports thru high school and was my thinnest in my 20's... but ever since I got pregnant with my first child, I never took the weight off and it has been going up and down(mostly up) ever since.
My youngest just left for college and for the first time in 20 yrs, its just me and hubby. We have thown out all the sweets, chips and soda, stocked the fridge and pantry with fruits, veggies and healthy food in general. Its so wonderful to have my "get fit buddy" right in the same house. Meal planning is actually fun!
I just wanted to say, your stories and pictures are truly inspiring. I can relate to so many of you.
I have a long ways to go and it is overwhelming to think about how MANY pounds I need to lose..so I just try to take it one day at a time and celebrate every pound gone, (-10 pounds as of today)..I know I will get there.
Thank you all for sharing your stories. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.
