I am a 37 year old wife, "mommy" to 2 kids (8 year old DD and 5 year old DS), 3 cats and 1 VERY spoiled Dandy dog. I work part-time as an RN. We live in a rural area, so getting to the gym is not the easiest task for me.

I have been overweight since 3rd grade. Basically, as long as I can remember. Recently, my DH has lost 15 pounds and is looking good, so I am feeling motivated to lose my extra weight too. I have 50 pounds, at least, to lose.

I was recently placed on blood pressure pills and would really like to lose the weight and get off the pills! I am hoping between that and DH's weight loss that I will finally be motivated to lose this weight. Motivation, or lack thereof, is my biggest challenge!
