I'm 32 years old with three boys (9, 12, 13). I've worked from home as a hairdresser for eight years now. That's when the weight really got out of control. My plan is to follow the Atkins diet, workout using my total gym, yoga, taeboe and Wii Dance. My ultimate goal is to lose 55-75 lbs before 2013. I know I can't do this alone. That's where calorie counter and you all come in. I'm looking forward to sharing all our struggles and success. And when I need it, getting a swift kick in the ass! Skinny jeans here I come!
