Hi, I'm Heidi...

Hpetrie

I am a working mother of three beautiful children, and wife of 13 years to an amazing man. I am also the owner of an extremely successful business. I am very blessed to have many great things in my life, but over the last ten years or so, as I've been having those beautiful babies, and building my business, I have lost myself. I am 100 pounds heavier, I don't take pride in myself anymore, and I feel like I'm letting my kids down because I'm so far gone that I can't run and play, or hike when we camp. I feel like I'm cutting myself out of my family's memories. I'm hoping to change that here. I need a lot of support. My husband is naturally smaller built, so even though he supports my weight loss by cheering me on, Sometimes I feel like he just doesn't get it. Ok... Enough rambling... I'm hoping to find a group on here that I can do challenges with through 2013 that we can pound out together.... Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and active New Year!!!

Welcome Heidi! I've been here since July and have already reached my goal but I don't plan on stopping logging anytime soon. MFP is a great tool and gives you the power to make changes. Good luck! I'll send you a friend request!
