Introduction Text I'm here to do what I can to feel better: less pain, more energy, and a more positive outlook. I am a 46 year-old stay-at-home-mom. I have two active, sporty boys and a husband who likes to stay busy, so I want to be able to keep up. I'm 5'2" and started at 196 in the middle of January, 2015. I'm over halfway to my goal of 135 (this is a high healthy BMI, so I might go lower), and I am very pleased that I have gotten this far in changing my lifestyle forever. I was 2GEESMOM, but decided I wanted a name more descriptive of me. Here's to success!

Healthier and happier. More energy. Less complaining and missing out. I think living a healthier lifestyle and taking control of things I've let slide will help me feel better, which will then make me happier. I also want to avoid adding health problems related to obesity, like Type II Diabetes, to my collection.

Balanced eating: Following SparkPeople recommendations for calories and ratio of nutrients, including fiber, and more freggies and lean protein. More activity and actual exercise. Drinking more water.

I live in central Oklahoma (a transplant from Texas). I have two boys (GR12 and GZ10) who keep me busy watching sports. Chronic health issues interfere with my level of activity.

I love to read. I love to photograph flowers, birds, and my boys playing sports. I like to do paper/pen puzzles.
