I teach science at an alternative high school in Milwaukee. I was married this past March 27th and thought that the wedding would cause me to lose weight. I was wrong. The stress and lack of time put another 10 pounds on me.

I was skinny my entire life and was very active in sports. I played NCAA softball, rugby, and women's pro football. However, over the past 10 years I have found that I have gained about 10 pounds a year, so my lean 125lb figure is now 205 pounds. I still have a good amount of muscle mass, but I really want to get my weight down so that I can be healthier and wear what I want!!!

Um...I originally hail from the Southside of Chicago, so I am a big White Sox and Bears fan. I live in a highrise condo downtown and absolutely love that lifestyle. I have no kids and it is going to stay that way. I do have 2 cats at home and a few pets in the classroom for the kids. I love music...mostly rock and country, I read every ngiht before bed, and I am very comfortable with silence.
