About Me

I am a 29 year old mother of 4. Three are biologically mine. Ages 6,4,22 months and 9 months. I am engaged to a wonderful man that I have been friends with for over 15 years. We own our own construction company. I stay at home with the children & handle the office duties of the company. I have been heavy all my life. Since we have been dating I have gained 100 pounds. My fiance tells me this is happy weight, but it sure doesn't make me happy to carry it around.However my two back to back pregnancies helped to contribute to this. I had my last son 6/15/2007. To date I have lost over 60 pounds since his birth. I still have a long way to go. I have tried many diets before and either failed or gained the weight right back. I am a strong believer in calorie counting now. This is just the beginning of my weight loss.

Why I Want To Get In Shape

I have 4 children ALL VERY ACTIVE BOYS. I would like to be healthy and see them grow up. Not to mention to be able to actually keep up with them. I don't want to be the mom sitting on the park bench watching them play baseball and football. I want to be the mom that can be out there running with them.
Bottom Line I want to be healthy!

My Inspirations

  • My self esteem, My future
  • My man
  • My children , Live a long healthy life
  • To be able to wear clothes I haven't worn in my closet for about 3 years

Hey there!!! Well, after years of starving myself and thinking "food = fat" I realized that I needed to eat AND workout to be healthy. CRAZY! Isn't it? Now with both eating and working out in control, I'm feeling better, looking better and losing weight. So how are you doing?
