I am a mother of three boys of my own and a stepson. My boys ages are 32, 30, 22 and 19. Almost an empty nest. One left still at home. I love the outdoors and adore the holidays. My weight gain was do to stress and not eating right. I began my healthy life style change last Christmas, when I saw a photo of myself and my colleagues at a Christmas Party. I was very unhappy with the way I looked, so I am doing something about it. It has been a long journey, an up and down hill battle. However, I will not give up. So here I am.
