Hi there - I, too, have been lurking for a while and decided to take the plunge. I have been so motivated and encouraged by all of the tremendous support and encouragement that the forum members provide for each other, and I want to be a part.
I joined a weight and wellness program three weeks ago, and began (SERIOUSLY) going to the gym. My husband and I even joined the boot camp classes

at the gym! I have been successful in dropping 15 lbs. I really need to keep going.
So, that's me. Thanks for reading.
