Jumping into the fray

Hello from Oregon!
I found this website awhile ago and I've decided to jump in. I'm a 30-something at home Mom who's sick to death of being fat and out of shape. Ten weeks ago I joined a gym, expecting to hate it but desperate, and found out I love it! I was and am so shocked by that. LOL I'm mostly doing cardio right now, but I'm pushing myself and my fitness level is much improved over 10 weeks ago. I've been up and down 20 pounds many times over the last 10 years, always lost the weight dieting and never with exercise. This time I really want to make a permanent change and I'm finally willing to do what it takes. I'm on Weight Watchers at the moment, but I'd eventually like to be able to manage my weight by myself because I'm fit and healthy... that's my goal. In January I'm planning to do Bob Greene's 12 week Total Body Makeover ~ spending the next few weeks working up to it.

What a great website ~ thanks so much for creating it!

Congrats, welcome to the forum!

Just curious, how much is Weight Watchers? I've always thought of joining, but I think the food would be too expensive.

Hey D! Glad to see you here. What state do you live in?

You don't have to buy any food on Weight Watchers if you don't want to. Online it's $16.95 a month, I think, but I'm doing the program on my own with DH now.

I'm in Oregon.

Oh, so it doesn't cost you anything if you run it yourself?
