I am a 29 yr. old mother of four beautiful children. When I got pregnant with my first child, I gained A LOT of weight and never lost it. In fact, with each pregnancy I gained a little more. I was never happy with myself but felt overwhelmed when I started thinking about losing it because with four children, it's hard to find time. I weighed myself one day and when I saw 205 on the scale, I knew I had to do something. So, I started counting calories and exercising and I lost 65 lbs. I have 10 more to go and that has proven to be the hardest. I never thought that I'd be in a size 8 and now I'm between an 8 and a 6. I am very happy and feel so accomplished. I have to thank God becuase He gave me the strength that I needed to accomplish my weight loss so far and I know that without Him I would never have had the strength to say "no" to my weaknesses. I love to eat and I especially love to bake. Thank goodness I'm not a sweets junkie. I prefer chips and dip to cake, ice cream, etc. I love to watch "The Biggest Loser". It's amazing to see the transformation of the contestants and know what they are going through. I am so glad that I found this website. I really believe it will help me to finally meet my goal.
