Hi, my name is Traci. I'm married and have 2 kids(both boys) ages 11 and 8. I have stuggled with my weights for years and ever since my first pregnancy it has been steadily up there. My highest was 192 and now I'm 158.8. I am 5' 4" and my goal weight is 125. On April 5th 2004 I quit smoking and of course gained weight. On January 1st 2006 I decided to change my life and finally lose the weight and become healthy. I lost 16 pounds, but stalled and was not sure why. I went to the Dr and Feb 15th of this year and found out I had high cholesterol. Which freaked me out because I'm 32 and I don't want to be on meds. I weighed 170.2 on that day and in 1 month I lost 11.2. I hope those numbers keep going down! I'm really happy to have found this site and I look forward to finding some friends on here! We can motivate each other!
