cl-squirtsmama so I shall introduce myself.
My name is Melissa but I go by Mel to my family and friends so since I'm hoping a lot of you will be my friends I will go by Mel here too. I'm 31 years old and live in Minnesota (brrr!) with my DH (Mike), 12yo DS (Sidney) and 4yo DS (Anthony). My DH has 3 older kids you may hear me talk about every so often... Christopher (19), Steven (17) and Kate (21, married with 2 little girls). So yes, that technically does make me a Grandmother.... EEK!
I am also a CL on the Pets Channel - Puppie Board and have been there for a couple years. I have become very interested in the SBD since my Mom's cardiologist told her to check it out (she had heart surgery this summer) and my blood pressure is high for my age, weight, activity level. I have been lurking on the board for a while know and you ladies sure know what you are talking about! What a great group and I'm here to help with the support. :) I saw that people were upset there wasn't an active CL on the board so I applied. Here I am.....
Monday, I put my husband on this diet and joined him to see if it would make me feel better and lower my BP, we'll see. DH needs to loose weight and since I'm doing all the work for lunches and such he will go along with it.
So I can get to know the rest of you, please introduce yourself!

Thank you Ria.
Hi Mel,
Our dog's name is Coco (as in Coco Chanel).
Thank you Tamera.
sorry to "out" you! I always look to see if anyone has been added, and there you were! Hopefully, we'll get a couple of more CLs to help you out! We are a lively bunch.

Welcome, Mel! I have a SIL who goes by Mel, also. You two are the only women I know who have that distinction. My name is Rhonda. I live in NE Florida, am "solar powered," have a fantastic husband, a 27-yr. old daughter and a son who will be 15 this month. I am an interior designer on "sabbatical," do a lot of volunteer work, and can usually be found over at an incredible board called Getting Fit Over Forty and Beyond. I used to be a CL there and on the Pilates Board, but decided I'd just like to be one of the gang again. I have 3 spoiled housecats and 2 very spoiled Yorkies.
This is my second trip to the Beach. First go-round was from April 7th, when most people still hadn't heard about it, and managed to do well until the 4th of July weekend. Totally blew it and have had trouble getting back. I started again this week, but boy, all these holiday and volunteer lunches are giving me a fit!! I'm doing better than I normally would, but nothing like I did the first time when I adherred to it religiously. I had lost 15 lbs. and 2 1/2" off my middle.
Really glad to have you here and look forward to getting to know you better. Do I dare tell you it was sunny and mid-70s here today?? ;-)
Love your snow globes!
Rhonda
Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

WELCOME!! Glad to see we're getting an active CL here :-)
I'm 24/currently in PA but have been bouncing around the last couple of years between New York, Philly, and DC. I've been here for two months now, and just love this board. These girls rock!
