Hi DULA! Here I am -- ready, willing and able to give everything in me to be successful in this challenge! Thank you so much for being our leader, and I know you'll do great; I'm excited already about what lies in store for me!!!! It is so true, in order to see a change on the outside, there must be a cleansing or change that goes on on the inside. We all have baggage that needs to be removed from our memories before we can have success in our weight loss journeys ...
My name is Val, a mom of 2 grown daughters, wonderful hubby, and the proud grandmother of a grandson. I live in Maryland and work in Washington DC as a legal secretary. I enjoy reading, writing, and singing in my church choir. My hubby and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in June, and I want to look good when we go away to celebrate!! I have been up and down with my weight most of my life, and I'm sure a lot of my eating was emotional eating. I ended the last challenge with a very small weight loss, and plan to do much better in this one!!!
I have bad knee joints, so the majority of my aerobic activity is on my stationary bike at home, and occasionally I get on the treadmill at the gym that is at my workplace. Looking forward to seeing my old friends here as well as meeting new friends!! My current starting weight is 207, and I would like my goal to be 195 - Onederland, here I come!!
