Hi! My name is Jenn and I’m a married 35-year-old woman with 2 teenage step-sons and a 5 year-old “puppy”. I have been overweight since the age of 5 or 6, but have more recently become VERY much overweight. I have tried every diet known to man, only to fail miserably at each and every one. I have gotten to the point where I am more concerned for my health than for my physical appearance (although that does not make me happy either!). I am tired of being completely out of breath after a flight of stairs, or sweating bullets just sitting outside on a warm day. Neither of those things is healthy or normal, and it scares the heck out of me. So…I’ve decided that I need to make small and gradual changes to my lifestyle instead of hopping on the most recent fad diet train. I’m looking forward to making some new friends here – good luck to all of you!!
