I am 44 years old and married. I have a step son, step daughter, and a 10 year old little girl. I am on a journey to lose weight and I have stopped smoking. I am trying to live healthy for my little girls sake. She needs me to be around a long time and I need to set good examples for her. I remember what being thin (or thin for me) feels like. I don't understand why I ever let myself gain so much weight. BUT, I'm about to fix that problem with the help of everyone on this site and my family and friends.
