Well I just wanted to say hi to everyone and hope this time that my efforts will pay off. I want to lose around 85 lbs and it seems to be harder to start and harder to do it this time. I have been a yoyo dieter most of my life and as near 40 I want to be healthy and at a weight that I am proud of. I want to look in the mirror and not try to hide what i see. I remember -in my thinner days- I was liked how I looked. I did not shy away from the camera and felt beautiful. I have a wonderful hubby and two great kids to support me so the only thing standing in my way is me --and I think its about time I move!
