Hello all,

I've been lurking for a couple of days but I wanted to formally introduce myself.

My name is Freida. I've been "eating healthier and exercising" on again off again for the past year but I have my mind set that this is the year to lose the weight and keep it off. I have 60 lbs to lose. I know I can do it but it is going to take time and I have to be patient. I didn't gain this weight over night and I'm not going to lose it over night. I started doing the 1 mile WATP tape about a month ago and I switched Monday to the 2 mile WATP tape. I love it!! It really gets you moving.

I have a 11 year old daughter and a step-son that is 9. I have been married for 2 years.

I'm looking forward to posting much more and getting to know all of you.!

Hi Freida! Welcome. Definately come join us on the daily thread (usually the thread closest to the top with the name of the day in it... today's is TGIF).

Sounds like you know what you need to do. You will get the weight off. Just be patient and allow yourself to mess up once and a while... just get right back on track.

Where in Mississippi are you from? I'm from the Gulf Coast, but I live in Boston now. I grew up near Gulfport, MS.. I love it there and can't wait to move back. Especially since it's 1 degree outside! UGH!!!!!

Nice to meet you,
Lisa
