I'm serious this time!

Options
Hi! My name is Tiffany. I live in South Carolina. I have two beautiful children Emmelyn (3/8/03) and William (6/27/07). I'm a full time administrative assistant of a private school in the area, full time mom, wife, and a full time student working on a BS in computer programming degree.

I gained my weight from having my two beautiful kids and have not bothered to get the weight off again. I've said for over a year now that I'm going to lose weight... I'm serious this time. I'm going to lose weight. I want to feel good this summer and enjoy running around and playing with my son and daughter and not get worn out after only 5 minutes. It's about a lifestyle change and I accept that. I want to show my kids what it means to be healthy. So here I am! :happy:

    Welcome! You hit the key - it's a lifestyle change. Eating better, healthier, keeping track of what you are putting into your body, drinking enough water, and getting exercise - that's all lifestyle! Good for you!
