Hey!  We are friends and co-workers from Mississippi.  Officially, Kathy lives in Pearl (city chick) and Laura lives in Harrisville (country bumpkin).  We work as registered nurses and have joined a program launched through our workplace for overall health and fitness.  We love to eat, but have come to realize that the scales are not just cruel because they choose to be; we actually are responsible for the numbers that the scale reads.  That said, we have joined forces to help one another to reach our weight loss goals.  We both are busy moms who work long 12 hour shifts.  It's difficult to find time to eat, much less eat right!  And the water weight adds a few pounds, too, I'm sure--going to the bathroom alone is quite often a luxury.
We have found a wonderful friend and comic relief in one another and believe that we can help to motivate one another along this journey.  Even small changes, such as walking the stairs and parking farther away than usual can make a big difference.  Also, the eating out will be limited and sensible, whereas before it was a lot and often.  Being accountable to someone else is the motivation we both need to achieve the ultimate success!
Also, we should win because:

• We really want this!
• Any help that we can get will be welcomed!
• It took forever to create this page!
