Hello all...
My name is Theresa- as you can see from my profile! I live in SE Minnesota near Rochester with my husband of 17 years, two English Mastiff children and 5 cats (4 indoor, 1 outside). I currently work for a company as a Direct Mail Media Consultant and have many aspirations beyond A J-O-B but need to stay focused for now.

I am embarking on yet one more weight-loss journey. I must say, I'm becoming quite a pro at starting... need to work on my follow through and completion however. I have been at least 130 pounds over weight for most of my married life-- which as I mentioned, has been 17 years. By the doctor's standards... I'm healthy. Blood pressure is good, cholesterol is only "slightly elevated"... all in all- pretty darn healthy.

So why fix it if it isn't broken, right?

Well, I've been asking myself that for over 17 years and the only answer I can come up with is this... if you continue to ignore your health, it will eventually go away! SO... this is it. It's time to really buckle down and get to work on this body, heart and mind of mine!

I've just started a new "challenge" on my blog-- check it out: www.healthystartsnow.com I figure it's just one more way to keep myself accountable and on track. I hope you'll help me!

I'm looking forward to meeting and chatting with many of you! I'm here to support you just as much as I myself need supporting-- we're in this together, right? Feel free to email anytime... would love to get to know you!

All the best in your journey, whatever it may be!
