Hello everybody! I just found this website today while searching for some ideas for weight loss contests on google! What a fortunate coincidence for me!!! I could use all the support I can get!
About myself: I just turned the big 4-0. I'm still getting used to that number! LOL! I am married and have two wonderful children. My daughter is 13 (going on 25) and my son will be 9 in March. I live in a small rural town in New York and at the moment I don't get out very much due to my vehicle being temporarily out of commission! It makes the days seem very long and boring sometimes!
I have struggled with my weight for most of my adult life, although I wasn't really overweight as a child. I seem to have a very slow metabolism and always have. It makes it hard for me to lose the weight that I've gained. I've tried numerous diets, including diet pills and slim fast, with no success. Finally, this past August I joined a weight loss support group called TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly), thanks to my mother-in-law. She's the president of our chapter and she offered to pay my membership fee if I wanted to join! (I have a wonderful support system in her and now in my TOPS pals!) Since joining TOPS, I've lost 19 lbs., but recently suffered a setback and have been getting discouraged. I'm hoping to keep things on track as this has been the longest I have stuck with anything in a long time and have been seeing results! So, to make a long story short, when I found this site I thought that maybe I could find ideas, tips, encouragement, and even offer support and encouragement to others!!!
I look forward to exploring the site and getting to know everyone!
