Hello all!!!

My name is Karen and I'm from the Garden portion of NJ. Just thought I'd set up a place for people who are fighting the good fight against fat to air their thoughts and opinions and problems.

Since the birth of my second child...10 years ago, I've just added pounds onto that post baby weight I never lost. Add to that almost a year of not smoking and and now I'm 5'1" tall and 166 pounds. Not acceptable psychologically or healthy. I used to be one of those little tiny things, so this is my first real attempt at ever having to lose weight. And it's not easy... but I'm hoping it will be a little bit easier with a place to post goals and successes as well as the setbacks and OOPS's.

My first goal....to fit into the pants I was wearing last year.
