Hi all!!

I posted here on another topic, but can't for the life of me figure out which one it was.  Had something to do with needing to lose over 100lbs, though. 

I am a 33 year old mom of three.  I live in Washington State.  I was married, but now divorced, and back with my ex for aobut 8 years now.  things are better than ever.  We are actually planning a trip to Las Vegas for the first time together, and I would really like to have lost some of my mass by then. 

I am a kareoke fiend, love chick flicks, sci fi, nip/tuck (dr christian troy, nuff said) and Big Love.  Not so much into sports, but since the Seahawks went to the superbowl, have been pretty intrested in them......

they say I should be about 111-140 lbs, but I know I would look positively cancerous at that weight.  I was hoping for somewhere btween 145-155.  I don't ever remeber weighing less taht like 170, so that will be new for me. 

thanks for being here....this is an awesome resource!  And if anyone comes across my post....let me know?   ;)
