I'm a newbie! Hello all!

  • I'm a twenty-something (ok, 25) from AZ currently living in beautiful Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC. I'm married to my best friend (aren't we all?). Going on seven years now :0) We have two beautiful little girls, ages 2 and 4. My girls are my life, even if they ARE making my hair turn gray! Our house is full of animals - a black lab, a pitbull, and 4 cats (not including my sister-in-law's cat, and a stray that live with my mother-in-law in the apartment in our basement!) Every neighborhood has one and yep, we're "that" family.

    The best things in life are:

    My husband and my kids
    My pets (especially my snowy white cat, Maverick)
    A great book!
    Thunderstorms
    HBO Sunday nights

    .... and the occasional glass of YellowTail

    I'm currently 245lbs, and at 5'7'' this is a lot of weight. My goal is to get back to my college weight of 160 - curvy but still able to shop for sizes easily, lol! I'm happy to be here, and I would love to make some new friends It's great to be here!
  • Welcome! I have lots of pets too. We have four dogs and three cats that belong to my mom who lives with us. Guess we are 'that' family too.
    Best of luck on your weight loss journey!!!
