I'm a 38 year old mom of seven children ages 4-20. At first I blamed my weight on all of my pregnancies, but now that I'm starting to read labels, and be more honest with myself, I see that was not entirely the case. I made poor food choices, didn't tell myself no, and would eat beyond full with the excuse of "not wanting to waste food". I lost 30lbs in a little less than four months, a few years back, on weight watchers. It came back without my really "looking", plus some. I think I will weigh myself once a month. Looking at the scale weekly can be disheartening at times. I'm finding the changes I'm trying to make to be a challenge, I took pleasure and comfort in eating, but I'm looking forward to success! I am also "Hishandmaid" on Ravelry

I would like to lose 59lbs by my next birthday, Aug 9, 2011. I want to learn to permanently eat less, and healthier. I would also like to walk a minimum of 2 miles at least four days a week, weather permitting.

Tracking and watching calories. Reading labels, look for yummy, healthy alternatives. Try to keep moving as much as I can. Drink lots of water.

I live in SW Ohio with my husband and five of our seven children still at home. I love to read, knit, sew, and am falling for quilting.
