I am happily married to a wonderful man.  We have one daughter.  They are the loves of my life.  They complete my life.  We have two shelties, Harley & Ginger; two kitties, Snickers & Punkin and four fish.  We all live together in rural Loysville, Pennsylvania.

I work as a Configuration Analyst from home.  Love that! 

I've been overweight most of my life.  I had a few years of being within my weight range for my height but as time went on I reverted to my bad habits.  Now, I'm the biggest I've ever been.  In the past year, I've been diagnosed with diabetes and a whole host of other health problems that most likely stem from my weight.  I want to make a change.  I want to be healthy and set a good example.  I want to live to see my daughter married with children of her own.  Of course, I also want to look great and maybe stop some of the meds!!

I know the ins and outs of "dieting" but I need to get down the fact that this is not a diet but a lifestyle change.  I want to choose to eat, or not eat, foods without guilt. 

I guess that's it for now.  Maybe I'll add more later.
