I have been lurking for a little while and finally have decided after realizing how much weight I've gained over the past year and a half that it was time to get serious. I have enjoyed reading other people's success stories and goals being obtained and I think i'm ready to get serious about my own success story and goals. So, I am 37 a mom and a new grandma and I'm pretty sure that my boyfriend has helped me gain almost 30 pounds in a year and a half. lol But just wanted to say hi and I look forward to hearing about not only everyone else's successes but my own as well I just signed up for a gym membership with my best friend and her boyfriend and we started the biggest loser competition at work. So, lots to be motivated towards. lol

Welcome and good luck !
