Hello,

Im Rhonda. I am in Jacksonville Fl. I am married and have 3 children. 4,6, 12. My husband is in the military so i play single mama alot. I am looking for a mentor to chat with along my journey. I just started. I recently went to the seminar and have a date scheduled to talk to the financial person. ( Insurance will cover it all but its 1 of the steps) They say since i have Tricare prime i can be banded in 30 days or so. I didn't think it would be that fast. But i have my seatbelt on and ready for the ride. I am currently 260 and my goal weight is 140. My personal email is Rhonda435@att.net if anyone wants to chat. :thumbup:

You can ask someone to be your buddy on here and also email them. Sometime you have more personal questions you don't want to ask anyone but your buddy. Not only that but email is a great way to become more personal with your buddy and find out more about them.
