I’m a 32 year old wife and mother of 2. Our son is 15 and our daughter is 5. Yep, that’s a pretty large age difference! I had my son young and vowed to have my next one when I was married and SANE!! My wonderful husband is so supportive of me. We work out together and even count calories together.

I come from an extremely close-knit family. My parents have been married for 40 years. I have 3 sisters and no brothers. I’m pretty sure we drove our dad crazy!! Eating was always a part of our family gatherings. Food was always involved and became a comforter of mine.

The biggest part of my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ. I’ve been through so much that I could write a book and make it into a Lifetime movie!! I don’t know how I would have made it without Jesus! I’m also on the praise and worship team at our church.

I began gaining weight around the age of 17 after I had my son. It went haywire after that. Since then, I’ve always been the heaviest of my sisters including my twin sister; therefore, I was very self-conscious growing up.

I’ve tried every fad diet, pill and almost tried hypnotism. Seriously!! But then I woke up and realized I need to eat less and move more. It’s as simple as that. I joined this site back in January but I didn’t get serious until March 15th.

My 1st goal is to get out of the 200s. My ultimate goal is to lose 75 lbs. I broke it down into 3- 25lb. goals.

I’m going to get this weight off and keep it off!!!!!!!!!!!
