Debby's beginning

I am a 35 year old married mother of 2. I have always been a athletic very active person who has had issues with weight. Since I have been married and had children my weight is more than it ever has been. I want to be healthy!! I do not want to say I want to lose weight. My number one goal is to be healthy for myself, husband and kids. I want to teach them great self-esteem and healthy lifestyle. By being healthy I know that I will lose the weight. I have started with a short term goal of losing 25 lbs by Christmas. Our family has joined the local YMCA and my co-workers are interested in being healthier too. I sit at a desk most of the day so there is not much exercise there. I would love any ideas from anyone how to juggle work, kids, marriage, housework, etc. I look forward to "meeting" you all. Debby

Welcome to our forum. I am sure that you will enjoy making friends here & the support that is given so freely. We are so glad that you chose to join us. I do think that you are already on the right road to a healthier life just by signing your family up at your local YMCA. That is a wonderful start !!. Eat healthy, in healthy portions, exercise & drink LOTS of water is probably my best advice for you. So just hang in there & we'll all be here for ya, Girl !!...Have a Wonderful Day !!!

LOL in for a a ride is it right.. phen is great if you put forth the effort... it's all for the sake of our health... and it sounds like you have a great support team all around you!! Let us know how your feeling!!

Hang on tight.. weight loss has more up's and downs than the ride at the fair that slings you up and flips your around time and time again..

Good luck
