Introduction

My stats are not pretty. I am 5 ft 3 in. and weigh in at 171 lbs. By my calculations, that makes my Body Mass Index (or BMI) 31. I am not sure what that number actually means.

Lucky for me, my Wii Fit knows. When I step on it says "That's Obese!" and it says it with such perkiness, that I really want to throw it out the window and hope that it shatters as soon as it hits the pavement.

I have two wonderful children....and yes pregnancy ruined my body. Before I had kids, I was 130 lbs. I never had to diet and I ate all the junk food and drank all the sodas I wanted.  Ahhh....the good times!

For the past seven years, I have been a stay at home mom. And before you ask, NO I do not sit around all day and eat! I do spend all my time taking care of my kids and my husband...and I lost myself somewhere along the way. It's not that I didn't see the weight coming on. I saw it, and I knew I needed to start exercising...I just didn't want to take the time away from my kids. I felt guilty even thinking about it.

I did try to limit my candy and caffeine intake.......less just say it was a smashing success!

After years of trying to lose weight, complaining about how much weight I have gained and being depressed about my weight...It is time to start doing something about it!

I am going to lose this weight and be a size 7 again! NO EXCUSES!!!

However, there will be plenty of complaining, whining, fighting, and lots of sarcasm.
