Hello, I'm new to SparkPeople. I am a 40-something female, married 12 yrs to my high school sweetheart of 26yrs. We don't have any kids except Nannette, my 2yr old mixed terrier.

I am looking forward to being healthy & happy with myself again. I have too "many serious illnesses for someone my age" according to my doctor's, so I finally decided to get my rear in gear & lose some weight.

I have to lose at least 150 lbs. I know that's a lot of weight but I'm looking at it as 1 lb at-a-time. My short-term goal is to lose 20-30 lbs by December 31, 2012. I've already lost 8lbs since I've changed my diet 1 mth ago! WooHoo!!!

Thanks in advance for all the encouragement...I really need it. Looking forward to meeting my goals & hope to make some friends along the way with all of you.

Good luck, & God bless us all on our weight loss journey!!!
