Hi everyone 
I am new to the Wish boards, I haven't been on DIS that long either. My DD started 1st grade today and my DS will be starting Mother's Day Out at our church next week, so now that we are getting back on schedule, I have decided to finally get serious about getting healthly and losing weight. Also this week we had a slight scare with my DH who has extremely high cholesterol (sp?) and high blood pressure and he is only 35!! I have already been looking at the boards to get some better low fat recipes and I bought a Cooking Light recipe book to help me get some new ideas. I am a SAHM, so cooking for the family is not a problem for me. We are members at our local YMCA, I used to work there 2/3 days a week and both of my children love their play rooms. So I have the time and the ability to exercise and eat well, now I just need to do it!!
My plan is starting tomorrow (I had to let myself have one day of being sad about DD going back to school) I will go to the YMCA directly after dropping DD off at school. I know that if I come home I will never go, I will get too caught up in chores, etc. I am considering joining WW, it seems like they have a good support group online and at their meetings, I also like the point system and eating real food. I think it would be too hard trying to do different meals for myself and my family.
I look forward to joining some of the exercise challenges in September. And I am sure I will have a lot of questions when I join WW. From reading this boards for a while, it seems like everyone here is very nice and helpful and I look forward to getting to know everyone!
