Hello. I am new here. Just stopping by to introuduce myself. My name is Gwen. I am a 41 year old mother of three. My kids are ages 19,18 and 16. I have two granddaughters ages, 13 months and 3 weeks. My 3 Week old GD is currently in the NICU and has been since birth. She should be coming home soon. My husband and I will be married 22 years this October. We have decided to do something nice for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, which I know is a ways away. But we are planning a family trip to Walt Disney World, we will be taking our grandchildren and all our kids.

This will be the first time any of us has ever been to Disney. So, I have vowed to loose some weight between now and then. So I can look nice and feel better during our trip. My daughter will be getting married while we are on our trip as well. So, of course We will have lots to celebrate!!

I also have a lot of health probles that are directly related to my weight issues. I and my 18 year old son are doing our own version of the South Beach Diet.
So, now you know me. Id be intersted in getting to know some of you.

Gwen
