After many children of whom came and went, we were called
to take on a sibling group of twin 3 year olds and the 2 year old brother. It
was love at first sight- and 8 years later-- we have 5. I know what you are
thinking- that is only 4. Well, God in his sense of humor, then blessed up with
one more biological baby. Through that pregnancy, I gained way too much weight,
but I was on bedrest from 12 weeks on! She was born 6 weeks early... I had to
have an emergency hysterectomy after he r delivery. It was just rough.
Well, when she turned one, I went in to the doctor for a
knot I was feeling in my neck- and found out I had cancer. I went through a few
more surgies, cancer treatments, and am now doing well. Unfortunately- through
all of that- the one thing that has been neglected is my weight! I am now
larger than I have ever been- but I feel like right now is the best time to
change that!
I am no longer fighting other health issues and can focus
on myself and weight instead of myself and every other problem! I told my
husband that I would love to be able to say that my 30's were my healthy
years...goodness knows, my 20's were racked with health issues!
I am ready for change, I just need some direction and help to get there!

Hey Rob- just thought I would share my good
news. I know I shouldn't measure but once every 4 weeks, but today I really
jhust wanted to see how I was doing. My trainer measured me, and in 2 weeks I
lost 3 inches in my chest and 1 inch in my waist! Partner that with 10 pounds
and I was thrilled!!! :) 2/6/10
what a week I have had at the gym! I have kicked myself in the tail everyday- and I am loving it!!! I have gotten a friend from my neighborhood to join with me, and we are strength training everyday- and doing about 40 min of cardio. It feels so good! :) My biggest frustration right now is figuring out my food. I wish I could figure out what my caloric intake should be- and how they should be broken up. It seems like every website says something different! I am trying, though.
This week I lost 4 pounds- 9 pounds all together. For 2 weeks- not bad! :) 1/29/10

I just turned 34 yesterday...hard to believe! I am a
mother of 5 children all 11 and under. My husband and I had a long journey with
God before we were blessed with them, though! I had my first child biologically
at 23- was healthy and happy. After that- I lost 5 babies- delivering one
stillborn, the rest through miscarriage. We decided that we were done trying,
and we chose to become foster parents.
