Excited about change
Hi there...
Everyone calls me Amy, not my full name but it works. I am a 40 year old mother of 5, lost my first but have 4 darling children that keep me really busy. My eldest are boys, 16 and 14. My two girls are 11 and 8. I have been married for 21 years this fall and live a rich and full life.

Hi there...
Everyone calls me Amy, not my full name but it works. I am a 40 year old mother of 5, lost my first but have 4 darling children that keep me really busy. My eldest are boys, 16 and 14. My two girls are 11 and 8. I have been married for 21 years this fall and live a rich and full life. My first bout with weight gain came with my second son...75 lbs that really never fully came off, but I hoovered in the 190's to 200's for a few years. After my youngest was born, I saw the weight come on really hard. I had lost a lot of blood and the nurse told me I would most likely gain weight....she wasn't just whistling dixie! I've gained a good 45 lbs since then, but an overall 110 in these 21 years.
It's hard to be the young, vibrant, joyfull person I know I am on the inside and look at the old looking, tired, sad person I see in the mirror. So, I started sparkpeople, right? Just on a whim, I searched the internet and kind of stumbled accrossed it. I signed up and got started, and right away...sticking to my goals I started to lose weight. It's been rough, bouncing up and down because I loose focus, because I have a big family that isn't really in tune with what I'm doing, but......
Just recently, I got a coupon from sparkpeople for Curves....I've always wanted to do Curves...but it was really spendy for me. So, I take in the coupon and they treated me so nice...well, needless to say, I signed up and start my fitness session!
I'm learning that I have to be agressive and work hard to get where I want....and I'm getting there. I get discouraged sometimes but my sister is very supportive and kind...that is a huge help.
Thanks for reading my page, I hope it encourages someone to take the bull by the horns!
