Hi,
I'm Marie. I signed up for this site today after I got to take a look at some pictures we had taken of our family. In short, I was taken aback by how HUGE I looked. I cried, felt ebarassed and ashamed...then I got on the elliptical for the first time in several months. I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3 kids (6,4, and almost 2). So that right there explains a lot about why I'm struggling with my weight right now. Hard to find time for exercise and eating right. But this is it. Time to get control and take care of myself as well as I take care of my family. I derserve it. I do.
