About Me

Well, I'm the mother of two beautiful children. My daughter is 10 yrs old and my son is 7 yrs old. I've been battling my weight for quite some time now. Being my biggest in 2000 at 260 lbs when I was pregnant with my son wasn't easy for me. Since then it doesn't seem like I've come that far. I joined MFP to help me make a positive change in my life. I've tried losing wieght before and I've suceeded but I did it the wrong way. I wasn't disciplined when it came to what I was eating, etc. To be honest...I took the EASY and UNHEALTHY way out. I refuse to do that anymore. I'm going to lose weight the right and healthy way this time around. I joined MFP on 10/22/07 (thanks to my co-worker and long time friend Ang). When I started I weighed 197 lbs...since then I've been yo-yoing. I'm a mom on a mission to be a lil'thinner and find the NEW me!!!

Why I Want To Get In Shape

Everything I do is for my kids! This too is for them but it is also for me. I need to get in shape and lose weight because I need to be around to see my kids graduate high school and have familes of their own. I want to be around for my grandchildren (when that day comes). I want to look and feel healthier. I'm tired of struggling to tie my shoes and being out of breath when I walk up a flight of stairs.
