I am a 41 yr old mother with two beautiful daughters. I started my weight loss journey in February 2011 when a co-worker suggested all the women in our office do a "Biggest Loser" challenge. Since then I have lost 23.8 pounds. Our office challenge ends June 1st, however I want to keep losing weight. I have 40 more pounds to reach my goal. I know weight loss takes time and effort. I have changed my lifestyle to include more fruits and veggies (I eat salad with both lunch and dinner to avoid overeating), have reduced my portion sizes (salad covers at least half the plate) and have started using the Walk Away the Pounds home walking system. I do 2 miles walks a minimum of 3 days a week right in my living room. I also started taking the stairs at work (I work on the 4th floor). Although the work challenge started me on this journey, I have made the decision that I am going to continue on it until I reach my ultimate goal. I have noticed how much more energy I have and how much my moods have changed and I'm loving it - as is my husband and my children. They have been very encouraging and a really great support system for me.
