Hi. I'm Jen. 33/F, mother to a teenager and about 110 lb over where I'd like to be.
I used to blame my weight on having my kid young. "Nobody told me I had to work to get my body back!"... but really, I've been addicted to sugar my entire life and constantly just eat junk cuz "it's around" and easy. I have a love/hate relationship with fast food... I've never really had anything that I HAD to have, but again, it was easy.

I"m not especially good at cooking, but I"m learning how to grill chicken and bake things instead of frying them. I HATE drinking water, but substitute with iced tea sweetened with either Truvia or Sweet N' Low. <-- one habit I'd like to break eventually, but one step at a time.

I joined WW about a year ago and was good for maybe 3 or 4 months, even working with a trainer at the gym. Saw about a 20 lb weight loss in just that time (and really not sticking THAT heavily to my diet!) but got bored/lazy and quit.

I've recently restarted WW and am going to meetings for some sort of accountability other than to myself. I've found a kickboxing class at the gym that I LOVE (even if I CAN"T do most of the stuff... yet!) and will be starting to lift weights in a week or two again. I've armed myself with instagram filled with inspirational people who have actually dropped the weight I need to, and this time I feel more motivated.

Time to prove everyone (and especially myself) WRONG!!!
