i am hoping that by joining this site, i will reach my goal weight/size. i grew up not having to worry about exercise or what i was eating and now age has changed all that! i successfully quit smoking over a year ago and now want to get off the extra poundage.  any advice or encouragement you would like to send my way would be most welcome! good luck to you all in achieving your goals!

Interests:
reading, bicycling, roller blading, surfing, hiking, and love trying new things!
