I am a 40+ year-old mother from the midwest. I never had any real issues with my weight until I gained 80 pounds with my pregnancy. Fast forward a decade and I am still carrrying around 40 extra pounds. After seeing a video clip of myself at a recent family wedding, I was literally horrified to realize what my body looks like to others. In my mind, I didn't see all that extra weight. I was simply clueless about how big I had gotten. That video has given me the motivation to get serious about a healthier lifestyle - changes I know I can stick to! I started SP several weeks ago, and am reveling in the adventurous new foods I am eating and the lift I am getting from regular exercise. I am thrilled to be on this journey to become the best Me I can be!

First and foremost, I want to develop better eating habits and incorporate regular exercise into my life. If I happen to lose about 40 pounds in the process, even better!

I am tracking every morsel that goes into my mouth. The accountability really helps me. I've started eating mini-meals every 2 to 3 hours to keep my hunger from running wild. I drink plentiful amounts of water daily. 30 minutes of cardio at least 4x per week.

I'm a 40-something woman from the midwest, born & raised. I have one pre-teen daughter and 2 kitty-witties who are like children to me. (My Fur Gurls!) I work fulltime in an uninspiring job, but the pay is quite good - so I stay.

I love to read, esp. suspense/serial killer books. I love antiques and am likely on my way to a guest spot on "Hoarders"!
