I am a married, working mother of 2 boys. I have struggled with my weight on and off my entire life. I have tried (and failed) with fad diets in the past and I want to learn to do things the right way. It's my goal to lose a minimum of 40 pounds by mid-November 2011. I want to be real with myself about what I am eating, how many calories I am consuming, and what I am doing to keep myself physically fit. I love to skate - becoming a derby girl is a major motivation. Even more than that, I want to be the best mom I can be for my boys and teach them how to eat healthy and take care of themselves. Let's do this!
