I'm Brandi!

I am a 32-year-old mother of two girls, ages 7 and 5. I have been married for almost 9 years to my best friend. I have a pretty 'crappy' family (my parents and sister) but am lucky enough to have a tremendous amount of support from extended family and my own hubby and girls! January 2010, I decided to make my life my own again, not to allow others to influence my mood. February 2010, I weighed 221 pounds and joined my gym. My gym isn't like any others that I had joined before, we are like a family...and I think I needed that. I will be at this gym one full year on February 16th...if I reach my goal on that same day, I would have lost 60 pounds!!! I have also entered a 'competition' very much like the Biggest Loser. Times being tight, the $1250 winning prize is huge and extremely motivational. I found this site through my phone...I was looking for an app to help me log my food since it is becoming harder and harder for me to lose just by WATCHING my food. I have already lost almost 50 pounds, over 25 inches, and 13% body fat....I still have a ways to go, but am so motivated!!
