Hello,
I'm Debbie who's turning 45! I am married to a wonderful man and have two great children (20 and 18). My weight has always been a struggle but quitting smoking 5 weeks ago has me what seems like eating all the time. I have not done any exercise since I had my back surgery over 1.5 years ago.
I am not happy with my weight or my insides. 2009 is my time to make some changes and start living again. Looking forward to making friends and losing weight.

Hello,
I'm Debbie who's turning 45! I am married to a wonderful man and have two great children (20 and 18). My weight has always been a struggle but quitting smoking 5 weeks ago has me what seems like eating all the time. I have not done any exercise since I had my back surgery over 1.5 years ago.
I am not happy with my weight or my insides. 2009 is my time to make some changes and start living again. Looking forward to making friends and losing weight.
I found this motivational quote here on SP:
If it’s been said before, it’s been said 937 times – if you want to succeed, you are going to have to take chances. Take the turtle for example. Poor creature moves as fast as a stone. If he wanted, he could stay inside his shell all day and relax. But it knows it’s missing out on the action; so the turtle sticks its head out and does something about it. When we stay complacent with our lives, or pass up on opportunities we are interested in, we are the ones relaxing inside the shell. We are missing out on the action. But if you stick your neck out of the shell, there are so many possibilities waiting for you.
So here I am creeping out of my shell.
