I am 35, soon to be 36, living in Colorado. I have a great 12 yr old son, Dakota, and a wonderful husband. He loves to cook and have people enjoy his cooking. After gaining 60 lbs over the course of 4 years, i am finally ready to put a stop to it. I want to be healthy and active. I will only be 41 when my son turns 18, i will still be a young gal:) and want to be able to do many things. I was always 100-130 lbs until i hit 32, then the weight started creeping on. I am finally at peace with the fact that a fad diet will not take it off and keep it off, i have to change my lifestyle and it will be a slow process.

I joined FS in hopes of getting some support and keeping myself on track. I hope to be at my goal weight by New Years Day 2013!
