I'm 28 and about 218lbs. I have given up on all my weight loss goals in the past but i am determined not to this time! I am organizing a 9 mile walk a thon in September and have to be in shape for it. I refuse to give in to my own demonds this time! I have 5 step children and 1 biological son. But as they say my step kids grew in my heart instead of my tummy. I have an amazing man who stands by me and supports me in all my endevours. I feel very lucky to have such a loving family which is one more reason not to give up. If they believe in me, then so should I!
