I am a 42 year old housewife with 2 sons, one an adult and one a teen. I live in an extremely rural area of North Georgia and have dogs, cats, goats and donkeys. I've had a weight problem since moving from Florida to Georgia in 1994. At one time I weighed up to 209 but have come down from that bouncing around anywhere from 159 to my current weight 175. I started with this site in July but had to go down to Florida for a couple of weeks and ended up eating out too much, eating more pizza than necessary, and sitting on my butt. Today I vow to get back on track including more exercise in my daily routine. My first goal is 15 pounds by October 2nd reaching 160. I know I can do it! I'm also hoping to find some good recipes on here, which I already have this morning and have the ingredients for. Happy weight loss to all!
