I am 36 years old and have been overweight for over 13 years...I finally got into losing weight about 3 years ago...I was always going up and down and didn't really stick to anything for long...Well here I am now and I went from 290lbs to 175lbs (gained 13 of that back in the past 2 monthts though) but the 175 was my lowest ever....I worked really hard to get there. I have 4 kids, 3 are from a soon to be marriage and 1 is mine. I have an amazing husband to be that supports me 100% on this journey I am going on...The journey I am on now is to be able to compete in Women's Figure by 2012. I am so excited about that. I can't wait till I get there and can get on stage and show then what I got. I have had some ups and downs lately but with God's help and the support of some great friends I am going to get back on track and go for it.
