I am a 37 year old wife and mother of 2 boys.....I have never been what most would consider thin.....I was average growing up and through high school.....after high school though I started to put on weight due to inactivity and over eating.....I had maintained a weight of 220 pounds for years but after having children and being a stay at home mom for 8 1/2 years I ballooned to a whopping 291 pounds!!!!.....I have been dieting for about 3 months and I have lost 25 pounds so far....I do need to start working out....just trying to find the motivation!
