HI HEARTBREAKERS!!! I'M SO EXCITED TO BE A NEW MEMBER!!!

My story the short version

Along with being a healthy example for kids, I have to lose weight to stop the pain in my right knee and ankle. I have gone to 3 specialists and they all have the same verdict--LOSE WEIGHT OR RESERVE A SURGERY TABLE!!! So the only choice is to ditch the weight. I describe myself as a positive person and a jokester. I am the only person that I know that loves a caricature of themself. I love mine so much I am using it as my photo on this site. My kids call it their "cartoon mommy" The resemblance is remarkable. I am a former athlete: track, volleyball and basketball (that is the source of the bad knee and ankle) therefore I have a competitive nature and the WEIGHTLOSS CHALLENGE will prove to be motivating for me and fun.

My goals for this week:

1. Exercise daily
2. Get my water in
3. Watch my portion sizes

Thanks for letting me join.
