My Story:
I'm 29 years old. I have been overweight since high school. I entered my freshman year weighing 115lbs and by the time I graduated from high school I weighed 240lbs! When I had became pregnant with my son I weighed 245lbs. By the time I became pregnant with my daughter, five years later, I weighed 260lbs. During her first year of life I ballooned to 286lbs.

I have always known I needed to lose weight. I have suffered through depression due to my lack of self confidence and have found comfort in food. In 2008, I decided that I had to make a change and I had to make it NOW! In 4 months I lost 26lbs. The following 7 months I put back on 12lbs. I joined Weight Watchers 5/2009 and lost 35lbs. I regained 15lbs in 5 months after experiencing a miscarriage and losing my mother-in-law.

2010 wasn't a good year for weight loss.... Severely unmotivated.

2011 is a new year!! I am determined to lose my weight before I turn 30 in 2012!!

I am not dieting I am making a life change!
