I am 31 years old. Married for 12 years and have two gorgeous little girls Lex 6 yo Lily 3 yo.

I started putting on the weight after I had my kids. I did well while pregnant and then once the baby was here I stacked it on. I started fatsecret October 2009 weighing 206lbs and I am currently at 152lbs. I still would like to lose a few more pounds and inches. I am not very good at documenting what I eat but I like seeing the weight loss graph and seeing results. I have learned that eating the right things and working out is what makes the weight come off. I also think setting small goals that are achievable help with the progress. I had one huge goal for myself when I started my journey and that was to pass a physical fitness test for my work. To achieve this I made smaller goals that I was rewarded for and pretty soon the weight was coming off, I was happier and made me want to set other small goals for myself. Anyone can lose weight but you have to want to do it for yourself not because someone else is telling you to do it. You have to have a great support system while doing so and be patient, it doesn't just fall off over night, you must put a lot of hard work towards obtaining your goals.
