All my life I've been told that I need to "gain" weight, LOL!! Not anymore.
I'm Rose!! Devoted military wife to the love of my life and married to him for 23 years now. We have 4 beautiful children; 2 boys, ages 22 and 5, yes 5!! And 2 daugters, 19 and 16.
I've been a stay at home mom when my 3 oldest were younger. Always taking care of everything in our household and me. It wasn't until I reached my late 30's when my family and I were blessed with our little boy. That's when the weight gain troubles started. It seemed that all I had to do was look at food and it was glued to my belly and thighs; it's disgusting. I have also entered into the stage of perimenopause.
I'm now in my mid-40's and the have hit the dreaded 200 lbs. on the scale; it scares me to death!!! I need to do something and NOW!! This is the heaviest I've ever been and so ashamed of myself. How did I let it get to this?? No matter what the answer may be, I need to fix it and get back to the "old" me and become a "new" me again.
Motivations?? The future; my children; and to surprise my husband who's deployed in Afghanistan for 15 months. I have 12 months to get into shape; this is when he comes home for his R&R.
I started the LA Weight Loss program and will be starting the Take Off program tomorrow, and then weighing in on Tuesday. I am motivated and am so excited about this journey. No looking back now, it's FORWARD all the way.....wish me luck.
