My son is away in the Marine Corps and he is very proud of me for joining today. He comes home next month for a couple of weeks before leaving for Iraq for a year. I can't wait to see him! He said he probably won't recognize me when he comes back.
I hope he doesn't! 
So here it is, my day of commitment to myself: to losing this unsightly weight, to getting healthy, to increasing my quality of life - and I'm going to do it for me.
Woot! Woot! Here we go!


You can do it. I'll tell you what has worked the best for me so far....support. Friends, group members, meeting leader, and this board. It can work for you. You go, girl.
