I married my handsome soldier man in 1999. When my husband finished his tour with the Army, we decided to start a family. We have 2 young boys and I am very blessed to be a stay-at-home Mom. It's the best job in the world!

During the past 10 years of marriage, I gained 70lbs with each pregnancy. I had a VERY hard time shaking that weight. My problem is that I love food--the junk kind--WAY too much.

I was 147 pounds when I began FatSecret on May 24, 2009. I was ready to finally lose my last 25lbs, for good. I switched diets a few times until I found one (Weight Watchers) that I am finally very comfortable with.

I have tremendous love for BREAD and CHOCOLATE. Sweets also. I love to bake and find myself baking "for my husband" often, when in fact I am the one who pigs out on whatever I decide to bake. That's not good! I struggle daily with trying to eat the right kinds of foods, and I am still learning. It's a life-long process, I think. There are so many great-smelling temptations out there! I think I could easily eat 2 or 3 baskets of bread from Logan's Roadhouse. Those are the best dinner rolls ever! Since I've been trying to teach myself to eat better, let's just say that I avoid Logan's. I'm no good with temptation!!!

I credit some of my weight loss to the excellent support this website has. I have made a few new good friends who really keep me in check! It's also very important to log what you eat every day here. That has made a big difference in keeping track of the calories I eat.

Oh, and of course, I LOVE Twilight. I own all the books and the movie, and am pretty obsessed with the romance and excitement of it all. My favorite book of the series is Eclipse. I love the Jacob-Edward rivalry!
