I am a mother of 2 great kids. I have been married for 10 years. I am a doula (birth partner) and hopefully I will be able to train to be a midwife in the near future. I have been overweight as long as I can remember. When I married I was 280 or so. After I had my son I was 300. After a few more years and another child I was stuck at 355. I joined Jenny Craig for a few months and got down to 330. I was able to get to 323 on my own just by moving and so forth. I also did the 3 day Breast Cancer walk last August. Now I am trying to get under 300 again for starters. After that I will just work in 10 pound goals.
