I am a mother of 2: a precocious four year old boy and an adorable 1 year old girl. I am married to a wonderful man, who supports me in my weight loss goal. And I am an eternally optimistic person. I started on a dieting adventure with my mother and sister-in-law in hopes of beginning a healthier lifestyle that sets a positive example for my children as they grow. That is now finished, but I'm trying to continue with my new lifestyle. I had just under 50lbs to lose to be back at my first year university weight, which was when I felt the best about myself. I made it! However this time I'm wearing size 8 pants. I haven't been that small around since I was 13. I have now altered my goal to go a little lower, but my biggest concern is just maintaining the weight loss I achieved! Wish me continued success everyone! I would say luck, but it takes a lot more than luck to succeed at this type of task.
