I am a busy mama of 2 littles and after my son I suffered from Postpartum Depression. I gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant and coupled with depression I had no motivation to lose it. I am mentally healthy now and my mind doesn't match my body!!

I used to be very fit, but this January, I tipped the scale at 200lb. That is not a number I ever want to see again. I lost a few pounds with diet alone, but started back this week with working out.

Extremely motivated and realistic about my goals. I am using Body For Life (without supplements due to some food allergies). I want to lose fat and gain muscle (right now I have 37% body fat/ 122# of lean body mass).

I won't be fat on my 35th birthday in November!

    Hi :)

    I also have two small children and suffered from PND - it's a hard road to get yourself out of it but good on you for recognising it. I am 34 in October and will be at my goal weight by then if I have anything to do with it.

    Good luck :)

    Kris.
