I am a mother to 3 wonderfully rotten kids ages 12, 8, and 7. I am recently married to an amazing guy who truly loves me for who I am. I teach high school in a smallish school in central Arkansas. I started this journey a few years ago and lost about 50 pounds after that my motivation faltered and I kept gaining and losing the same 10-15 pounds. Last summer my mother passed away suddenly from lung cancer (that no one was aware she had). I spent a few months extremely depressed trying to come to terms with her passing, during which time I started putting on weight again. The end of October, i decided it was finally time to make this happen for real. Since then I have lost 82 pounds and 127 pounds from my all time high. I still have a lot of work to do before i reach my goal but I know i will get there. Hope to hear from you.

Go from morbidly or super obese BMI to normal BMI. ( already dropped from 51.2 to 33.5).. 327 - all time highest weight (recorded) -2007 246 - lowest weight since having kids, before spark - 2009 282 - restart/recommit weight - 10/25/11 *~*GOALS*~* 275 - DONE 265 - DONE 250- DONE 239 - DONE 229 - DONE 219 - DONE 209 - DONE 199 - 189 - 179 - 169 - 159 - 149 - 139 - 137 - Goal Weight - Stay off soda...that stuff is just poison to the body.

I completely quit soda (10-25-11) because I was not willing to let a drug control my life any longer. I am eating healthier but mainly practicing portion control. I am also working on consistently being active, not only with regular exercise but in all aspects of my life.
