Hi everyone!

jlmelton0509

I'm Jaimie and I live in Fayetteville, NC. I'm 23, an Army wife and a mother to a beautiful daughter. I also work full time for the local library system. I am currently at my highest weight and refuse to blame it on having a baby. That excuse became null and void the day she turned one. (8 months ago!)

My weight has caused some image issues and has put a damper on my usually outgoing attitude. I also want to get back to my high school weight because I was diagnosed with an enlarged valve while pregnant. My family has a very long history of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Most importantly, I want to be a good role model for my daughter. I never want her to go through the issues I've dealt with my entire life. I want to teach her what it is to eat healthy and to actually like vegetables and not just chicken nuggets or pizza. I also want her to have an active lifestyle.

I am extremely blessed to have a very strong support system at home. My husband and my mother-in-law are both counting calories, working out with me, and helping to keep bad food out of the house. My husband has even agreed to switch to low-calorie beer!

I hope to meet supportive people on this site, and possible some in my area. I have been on this site for about a week and love it! Feel free to message/add me. Lets encourage and motivate each other to reach our goals!!
