On March 13 of this year I decided I need to change my body. It had to be a life long attainable change. I am a mom of 3 very active little boys, whom I need to be able to keep up with.

I started out only able to work out about 14-20 mins without feeling totally winded and very tired. I rid our pantry of all the "junk" food items. Thus the journey began!

I used to live to eat, now I eat to live!

I have worked myself up to an hour a day sometimes longer, 6x a week of good cardio exercise. I have totally changed my food chocies and all for the better. I do have the occasional sweet treat, but it's limited. I don't feel deprived, I feel energized and full of life.

So in 9 weeks I've lost 40.8 pounds! I still have another 20+ to go, but I feel I have the ground worked laid, and in time the rest will come off.

    What you're doing is the way to do it.
    Eat to live and not the other way around.
    Keeping yourself active...

    I am so proud for you and your family! Keep up the great work.
