Hi everyone! I am a mom of two. I am going through a tough divorce. But, am currently dating a wonderful man. It's so weird to be dating again after such a long time. I am hoping to lose about 48 pounds this year. Then, I have other goals after that. But, this is the first big goal for me! I had achieved that goal about six years ago, but then got sidetracked when my life hit some really tough times. I turned to food for comfort again. I've battled my weight since I was about 16. I had never had a weight problem growing up, but then I put myself on a drastic diet. I got down to about 114 pounds, losing about 25 pounds in 6 weeks. Then, when I stopped dieting, I gained that 25 pounds and continued to gain through the years. I had moments of success. I dieted down to 178 the year I got married. But, I gained about 30 pounds over the next 2 years. Then, I got pregnant, and put on 40 pounds that stayed on me over a decade. I got pregnant again, and didn't gain any weight. Then, I decided it was time to do something finally. I was determined to look good when I turned 40. I lost 52 pounds in 10 1/2 months, I was exercising 1-2 hours a day, and I did look great when I had that milestone. But, then I lost my parents, and went through a divorce and got sidetracked. I was about 40 pounds heavier 2 1/2 years ago, and that 40 I took off quick, but now I am just stuck! I am hoping that I can get off this next 48 in the coming year.
