    • Interests

      Family, Tanning, Meeting new friends, Dancing, I love to watch anything that will make me laugh! I love to Laugh! I had been going to BBW bar for about 5 yrs. But since I gained all this weight...I don't think it was such a positive influence on me. But I had a blast with people who accepted me at the weight I am at and made lots of friends that I still have contact with..just not at the bar.
