Hello, All,
I am a little overwhelmed with just how big and busy this place is, but I'm going to go ahead and post a hello, in hopes that someone will find it, read it, and maybe even respond.
It looks like I joined here a long time ago and then lost the link, got scared, something. I'm back, and truly, I want and need to make some important changes in how I relate to food, exercise and health. I need support and encouragement, and I am good at giving support and encouragement too.
I'm 42. I live on a small hobby farm with my husband and daughter. We garden and raise a few chickens, and I'm at home full time with her (mostly - I do substitute at the library a little bit on the weekends.
I am just guessing at this moment, but I'd say that I am supposed to lose about 90 pounds. Ouch. If I have a mini goal, it's to lose about 25. I need to weigh, take measurements, whatever else.
I feel a little lost in this big place, and need to find a touchstone or two within the framework. I'm considering Alli to help me get things started, I have Wii fit, and I think I'm addicted to soda.
Guess that's about it for now. Thanks for reading.
