Newbie-ness

Good day all...

I'm here for the same reason everyone else is...to lose a pound, a hundred times or so.
But this week, just one will do.

I'm a gardener, dog mom and fulltime domestic engineer. I enjoy reading almost as much as food (thank the gods books aren't fattening!) and love a lively discussion.
I'm not doing a "plan" - I gained 120 pounds sitting on my arse in a cube. I'm no longer chained to the cube, so it's time to get in gear.
I lift weights and walk, try to practice portion control and not eat an entire can of frosting in one sitting - I'm kidding really.
I threw all the frosting away.
I'm motivated and dedicated and want to stay that way. I'm hoping to find friends and support here, and will do my best to return the gifts gratefully and with as much humor as possible.

Thanks for the welcomes!

I will definitely be starting up a journal/diary kinda thang.
My online time is a bit short these days - gardening and a new volunteer gig have me outside sweating and working out (hauling mulch and weeding counts as working out) Clipping hedges is definitely arm and shoulder exercise.
