Oh..sorry about that. I have a niece that is 18 months old and another one that was just born in late December. My mother says they look just like I did...lol . Too funny since neither one is mine. Well it certainly does help that we are all dealing with some of the same issues. Just last night I found "the dress" so I really need to get on my game and seriously focus on loosing the weight.

It does help that we're all in the same place. And thanks, but she's my niece. She is so cute though! We haven't been able to get pregnant, so that's another fun thing to deal with. :)

Hi Dana! I've fallen off the wagon a couple of times myself, and as hard as it is sometimes, it really is best that we keep trying rather than give up. What scares me is that if I give up, I know I'd shoot up, probably over 400 pounds and that I just can't take. It kind of keeps me in check. You're absolutely in the right to keep on trying!

By the way, Congratulations on your new engagement! I'm sure you'll be a beautiful bride, no matter what!

Hi all!! I'm Dana. Fell of the healthy wagon a few years back and really kind of just didn't care. Well, I've realized that I am just not happy with how I look, how clothes fit and the fact that I am starting to get winded just walking up and down stairs. That part really is not good, not at 33 years old! I was always in awesome shape as a kid and all through out high school. It wasn't until later in life after a some emotional roller coaster rides of a failed marriage and just life in general that finally took it's tole on me and I just seemed to stop caring about me. Once I met my now fiance, boyfriend at the time, I knew I needed to do something and with his help I got down to 40lbs shy of my goal weight. Well, then life happened. We just got comfy in our way of life and kind of let exercise go by the way side and started to eat out more and yada yada yada, you know the deal. So last night after my boyfriend proposed to me I decided that if this isn't motivation I don't know what is. After a long and hard heart to heart with my self, I decided that I want to be that beautiful bride for not only me but also him. So I decided after dinner to pull out the WII fit and just start, that's the first step after all. So here's to starting over, again, and a whole new way of life!!
