I am a 38 yr old mother of 3 boys(18,15 and 9)and one fiance. I have been this weight since High School. I am happy with who I am and what I have become. I decided to lose the weight to have more energy and to be there when my kids have kids. My whole family is in this with me. The younger 2 have no weight issues, but the rested of us do. I have decided that the best course of action for me at this time is to limit my calories and increase my exercise. While still trying to enjoy life. My goal is to get down to between 150 and 180lbs. I know how to eat right it is just so hard to do it all the time. Perhaps this site can and will help.
