I am 35 years young.  I am a single mother of a 16 year old daughter named Candle.  I also have 2 small dogs that are just as spoiled as my daughter.  Right now my goal is to get rid of this excess weight I have gained in the last 3 years.  I started here in January 2007 at 5'8", 185, am currently at 167 and would like to get down to 148-150.  My weight gain is attributed to years of yo yo dieting as well as a near fatal auto accident which left me tube fed for 10 months, at which I got super thin, but the moment I was able to eat real food again, I ate everything in sight...

I am a licensed hairdresser, and I am currently back in college to get my bachelors degree in Accounting and Economics/Finance.  I have about a year to go. :)
