Hi everyone,

I've been reading the posts for about a week now, and this looks like the place for me! I'm already feeling like I'm getting to know some of you. Here's a little about me. I'm 39 years old, married to a wonderful man, and live in New England. I'm 5'3" and weigh around 245. I'm hoping to lose around 100 lbs. Right now I'm not on any particular program, but I have been eating healthier and trying to exercise more. I even woke up at 5AM the other day to exercise! (And I am NOT a morning person!) I've been doing Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds. I like doing her tapes because they're easy to follow and I feel good when I'm done. I'm trying to change a lifetime of bad habits, so I'm hoping that I can find some support and encouragement from these boards. In return, I will give you my support and encouragement also. I've seen a lot of big "losers" on this board, and I hope to be one of them soon. Keep up the good work!
