Hi, I'm Angie. I'll try to get my profile pic posted in the next few minutes; I forgot.

I'll be 44 in less than a month. I'm now at 260 and want to weigh 145. I've finally had enough and am ready to do it. I even considered surgery, but realized that was an admission of failure and that I'm ready to do this.

I have a great husband and an equally great best friend, both of whom are behind me 100%, along with my two teenagers, and I know I can do this.

Thanks for being here. I'm excited about this

Angie
