I am 33 years old, married and have two children.  They are my world. I am once again trying to lose weight.  It seems as though since I had my first child at 21, I have been on a roller coaster with up and down weight.  I lost about 40lbs three years ago and in the past year have gained it all back....and then some!!  I am now at my wits end with how to deal with this.  I need to find out what I am doing wrong and figure out how to correct it.  I hope I can find even more motivation in this site to help get me in the direction I want to go. 

I want to be healthy for my family and show my kids how to be healthy as well.  I have had multiple surgeries and so it seems like I keep getting shoved back down, but I keep getting up and trying again.  This time is no different except I am more serious than ever in getting to the bottom of the problem and keeping this weight off for good!!
