I am a stay at home mom of 2 beautiful boys... Boys who deserve a healthy mom who wants to live and have fun with them! When we brought home our second son from the hospital, I weighed 265 pounds and thought I would just die.... so, I went and ATE! ha ha ha

On January 23 of this year 08, I decided to get serious.  I weighed 236, and was just tired of being fat, not having anything to wear, and NEVER feeling cute for my husband.  I joined on 1/24/08 and have been counting my calories, logging them, eating every 3-4 hours, and trying to be active every day, but making it to the gym atleast 3 days a week.  As of today, 3/31/08, I am down to 202!!! I can't wait to break that 200 mark.  The day I got married, I was 192 and I don't think my husband has seen my any lower than 185... so I'm pretty excited to go lower than that and be the healthiest and hottest he has ever seen me! =)

I'm excited for a healthier life although I don't enjoy it every day... if I'm honest.  It's a struggle for me sometimes, but I am trying to take charge and be healthy whether it feels good RIGHT NOW or not... because when I get past a crappy day, it always feels good the next!

God Bless ya'll and KEEP ON GOING, IT IS WORTH IT!!!

UPDATE: 5/6/08: Down to 193!!! I am going to the gym so I can be 192, which was my wedding day weight! WooHoo!

Update: 7/31/08: Down to 178.8!!! I am so excited to be skinnier than my husband has ever seen me and healthy/agile enough to play with my 3yr old and 1yr old sons! God has blessed me so much to give me the strength and self control to run this weight loss race.  I would have NEVER thought I'd be this healthy right now and I am soooo excited about it! I am almost 20 pounds lighter than the day we got married, it's insane!  If I can do it, truly ANYBODY can do it, I used to hord junk food, hide it, sneak it.... drive through McD's for not only 3 cookies, but a chocolate dipped ice cream also! I am a testimony to the scripture that says, "With God, all things are possible!"
