I am the mother of two young children who keep my world moving.  My husband is incredibly supportive but also overweight, so we struggle together. I have had gastric bypass (1999) and have used phen/fen both successfully, but the weight loss from both went away with my two pregnancies.  I would like to have another child, but need to be healthier first. 

My kids are my life right now even though I work full-time. I gave up a lucrative upper management career to work for an employer who understands that family comes first. Now, I make a lot less money but have no guilt when I have to miss work for the kids.  Such a gift!

Now it is time to focus on losing the weight I need to lose to play with my kids without gasping for breath.  I will need all the support I can get.  I wish I could say I was confident in my abilities to lose weight, but I am no right now. Hopefully, that will change!
