Hello! So for those of you who are curious, I am a 34 year old woman who works overnights in an animal emergency/critical care hospital and during the daytime helps manage a tattoo shop... so I'm usually very busy. My children consist of an extremely old chihuahua, a year old king charles spaniel (blind) and several special needs felines, all of who bring me hours of joy (and work, lol). I was once very fit and active, but after buying a "fixer-uper" house and starting the tattoo business with my roomie... exercise and good eating habits went right out the door and in came Wendy's late night and the 24hour Burger King.

So 50lbs or more later, I'm trying to regain control of my eating habits and overall my life, and am looking forward to meeting other people with the same goals!!
