Hi everyone! My name is Michelle and I'm 34 years old. I've gained 40 pounds in the past 2 years and it's time to get rid of it! I can't stand not being able to fit into any of my clothes and I sure in the hell don't want to buy any new ones. Buying new clothes means I'm happy with myself, heck no! I'm currently working full-time and attending school. You would think with my busy schedule from work, school, a mother of two and a girlfriend I would burn off these damn calories. I'm determined to start eating right and trying to put exercise into my daily routine. My goal is to get down to 135 pounds, I started on this site weighing 174 so with hard work and support I know I can do this...we all can!
