I am a 29, almost 30 year old married 5th grade teacher. I have struggled with my weight my entire life, but a year ago I set off on a journey to a healthier life style, and while the weight loss hasn't been as signficant as I had hoped, it is slowly coming off. I have lost almost 40 pounds over the course of a year. But maybe even more significant than I have lost almost 7% body fat during my journey. Around May of last year my husband jumped on board with me also and we changed our eating life style. I calculate the calories in almost everything we eat and I serve it all up with measuring spoons and cups so we can keep our portions in control. A friend, thanks Abby, recommened I use this website and join her on a journey together, so here we go!!!!
