My name is Gina. I am 34 years old. I am married, and the proud parent of five active children. However, I am not a very active person myself. I spend majority of my day working at the computer and then I spend my evenings in front of the TV with my family. I have always had a weight problem. I am not a big eater but I have had the bad habit of drinking several glasses of Pepsi a day, and eating junk food late at night.

Due to that along with the lack of exercise,I have managed to get bigger, and bigger. I now weigh 280 pounds. I no longer love what I see when I look in the mirror. I want to loose this weight for me. My family loves me the way that I am and have never said anything about my weight but I know this is not healthy for me or them so I am determined, and dedicated to reach my goal which is to loose 110 pounds.

I started my diet today. My goal is to limit myself to a minimum of one glass of Pepsi a day and to do at least 45 minutes of exercise a day and to eat healthy, and to not eat later than 7:00pm at night.
