I am a 32-year old stay-at-home Mom. I have a 13-year old son, a 10-year old step-daughter (who lives with us full-time), and a 10-month old son. With my first son, I dropped the weight in less than 6 weeks...this time around I have not been so lucky :o(

My husband works horrible hours, but he is working hard to provide for us and this allows me to stay home with our beautiful little boy. The huge down-side of this is that there is no time for me to go to the gym and no room in our house for a big, bulky treadmill. (hell, we almost have to pack up and move out because the baby got so many toys for Christmas!!!) I bought a Jillian Michaels workout DVD, "30-day Shred" and wish I was able to do it more...but physically I would be dead and time will not permit it. I am also taking advantage of recipes from a Biggest Loser cookbook.

Starting this past Monday, January 4th, I am in a weight-loss challenge with 4 of my friends. Conveniently at the end of the challenge, my husband and I will be attending a Gala to benefit the Ronald McDonald House...so I have to do this and hence, HERE I AM!!!!!
