My story

tosha07

Hi my name is Tosha and i am 27 years old. I'm a mother to two amazing boys. My oldest Jayden is 4 and youngest Mason who is 6months old. I am a student 8 more classes until l i graduate with my BS in criminal justice. I joined the Navy in 2003 spent 6 years serving my county. SO anyways i have been struggling with my weight since 2006, my first pregnancy was a high risk and i gained 100lbs. Mine you i was 130lbs before i got pregnant . My daughter Alyssa was stillborn Jan 2006. and ever since then dealing with depression and yo-yoing up and down with my weight and two kids later, I AM making the change. My goal is to loose 40 lbs before my husband comes home from his year long deployment. A friend of mine has been using the site and has seen great results, i have lost 5 lbs thus far and am on my way to a healthy new ME!!

You're among good company here, as this place is chock full of supportive people. I hope that you find that taking good care of yourself helps you both physically, as well as emotionally. I can tell you it has helped me in both realms.

i joined 5/13/11 and have lost 5#s so far. I want to drop 50-75#s when it's all said and done. Sorry to hear of the loss of Alyssa. Good luck reaching your weight loss goals in time for your hubbys return. Thank you both for your years of service our great country. Please feel free to add me as a friend. The more support/encouragement the better. The more you move, the more you lose. Have a pleasant night.
