My name is Lori and I live in the most beautiful place, western North Carolina.

I have spent so much of my life raising kids, working, trying to achieve the next important thing. In the hustle and bustle of life and I know you all know what I mean, you don't take care of yourself. Everything else takes priority to you.

By now, I am 30 - 40 lbs overweight, lack energy and motivation. I don't want to start and give up in a few days. I need to stick it out and follow it through.

Being part of a group with others with like-minded goals, it will be easier.

Onward and upward toward to the goal.
