Hello,
My name is Chrystal and Im a 32 year old student who is working full time for the summer. I am also the single/sole support parent of two kids, aged 13 & 8 and two dogs, a 5 year old English bullie and a 3 year old ****zhu/toy poodle mix.

I've been overweight all of my life and I find myself struggling quite a bit to keep this fire lit under me. Over the past two years I've made a ton of changes to the way I eat and the foods I buy. The challenge now is to keep up my exercise and to not be completely swayed by the times I fall off the wagon.

Any advice or words of wisdom would be helpful and appreciated.

    Hi Crystal! I was overweight all my life, too. At 38 I reached 332 lbs...a real low point for me. Two years later I am down over 106 lbs and have 25 to go to reach my goal. Proper nutrition, exercise and determination are the keys. I'd love to help encourage you on your journey! I have stumbled and been frustrated along the way, and you will feel that too, but with the right support and motivation, you can do it. So add me and let's get started!
