Hi, I am 44, a mom, a partner, a nurse, and a funky gal. I live in Vancouver, BC one of the most beautiful cities on earth. Everyone is healthy and fit, and I live near the beach.

This summer when I had a regular visit with the doctor he weighed me at 235! and I was shocked. 250 was what I weighed when my 10 lbs son was born, and I have generally kept my weight between 215 and 225 since then. This was a bad trend and if things kept creeping up, I would be in serious health danger.

I have always been heavy, but also I do like healthy food, so my first job was to quit my junky habits and focus on good eating. With that alone I lost 9 lbs in A moNTH,

In september i joined yoga, and have continued to lose weight and tone my body. i have dropped 1-2 sizes. i am happy and looking forward to the future.
