My name is Shelly and I am 34 years old. I live in a little town in Okalhoma with my Huband and 3 children -2 girls 1 boy. I work at home as a Medical Biller for several Doctors, which means I spend alot of time calling insurance companies trying to collect money for the doctors and making sure that their claims get paid.

Most of my time is spent with my Family and going to Church. I am the Chior Director and a teacher for our Wednesday night "Kids 4 Christ" class. My oldest plays basket ball and Cheers so I am always on the go with the Team to watch her play.

When I was 18 I weighed 118 lbs, then I had my first child and well lets just say my body did its own thing and I had to have a c-section. I reached a weight of 187 at her birth and got it back down to 140. Then I just let myself go. By the time I had my second child I weighed in at 194 and had another c-section. I didn't loose any of my weight. With our 3rd child, I was 230 then I lost 14lbs which was great and then gained it back thru the pregnancy.

I now weigh more then I did for my 3rd pregnancy...which is just humiliating and irritating. Although its my fault for not eating good and excercising....

I want to be at least down to 175 by June as I will be traveling to California to visit family and I want to look like a new person. So I am determined to get this weight off of me......so far I have lost 16 pounds....
