I'm on my way!

I'm on my way to a new life! :clap2: I took my first step on 8/22/07 and went to a seminar. My first Dr's visit is on 9/28/07. I can't wait to complete my journey. I'm excited to find this web site and to learn more about what I will be doing in the future. I will learn about the trials and tribulations that you are going thru and I will learn from them. I've struggled forever with a weight problem. The fat kid no one wanted on the team in a gym class. The fat teen who didn't date. The mother who gained more and more weight with each pregnancy. I remember weighing 170 pounds when I got married and thought I was fat then..now I'm over 280 pounds and find it hard playing on the floor with my young grandchildren. I want to play and run with them without being out of breath and taking a break. Of course I regret not watching how much I ate before and I thank God my children do not have weight problems. This site will be an additional support for me, and believe me I need support. I will do this and I will do it well! Look out world, a new me will emerge!
