Hello all!

I have been a serial dieter for most of my life. I'll lose a few pounds and get tired of trying and then gain it all back. So this year as I was driving to yet another Weight Watchers meeting, I pondered what was going to be different this time, what is going to make it stick this go round... I just decided to try again and be patient and hope it works this time.

I've lost 8 pounds already, but I have quite a bit to go. But hurray for small successes, right?

Anyway, I'm Val, I'm 33, married to John and we have six children. Yep, six. So, HI!
