Hi my name is Erin Mitchell. I live in Highlands Ranch, CO. I had my son 5 years ago and gained 100 pounds with my pregnancy. Since having him I still have the last 50 to get off. I turned 40 this year and am determined to make this the year to get myself back on track.

This is my first struggle with weight, the "excess" weight is literally holding me back on many fronts in my life. Right now I feel lost. Lost with my weight. Lost in my marriage. Lost of what makes me tick and happy. I have been a lot of things over the last 5/12 years, mother, wife, working mom, soccer chearleader, cook, parent, driver, but somewhere in the middle of all of this I have lost myself. This is my journey to rediscover myself and to lose the extra weight on the trip.
