I am 34 years old, I have an 8 y.o. girl and 5 y.o. son. My husband is a police officer and I am in land development/property management. We live in Texas, just outside of Austin, in the country, love to crochet in my down time and my favorite food are peanut m&m's. I originally did LAWL in 2005 and was successful in losing the 30 lbs. and maintained until this year when I had surgery. Since then I have steadily gained the weight back. I have about 17 lbs. to go and I am on the gold plan. I am 5' and weight gain is very visible on my small frame.

I love to read Nora Roberts books, historical and murder mysteries as well. My favorite TV shows are Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. I know alot of people don't like DH because they depict moraless women behaving badly, but it's fiction. It's brain candy and great way for me to not have to think to follow the story. All day long I reveiw contracts and various documents with sensitive material that I have to scrutinize and it's nice to step back from that every once in a while.

My kids are the greatest decision my husband and I have ever made. Though technically our son was a surprise. I also have a 19 y.o. stepdaughter from my husbands first marriage.

I grew up in a small town, I have an older sister and two nieces. Gosh writing about yourself is kind of hard. I look forward to meeting new people and expanding my circle of friends.
