Hi everyone! My name is Melissa and I am 27. I have a wonderful husband named Jose and we are owners and operators of 2 family style restaurants. It is hard to make healthy choices with such tempting food always around me. We also have a very active 3-year-old named Isabella. She keeps us laughing everyday!

After having my daughter I weighed 263 and was a size 22. My highest weight ever. I've never been "skinny" but was used to being a size 14-16. I started walking in the mornings and joined Weight Watchers. I got down to 163 and a size 12, but had sagging skin. 1 year ago I had a tummy tuck. I was so excited and happy to finally fit into size 8 pants! Unfortunately the weight has crept up again due to a stressful year and miscarriage. I now weigh 192 and am back into 10-12 pants. This time around I plan on forever changing my diet for my health instead of obsessing about weight or pant size. I look forward to meeting new friends here where we can encourage eachother and forever conquer our weight battles together! Don't be shy to say hi!
