My name is Lynne, I'm a 31 yr old mother of 5 boys. I am trying to lose weight because I'm tired of being fat. People tell me to embrace it, I can't, if I do, I will just get bigger, and that's not what I want. I'm hoping to lose at least 45 lbs.

    Who on earth would tell you to embrace it? Probably the same people who eat garbage all the time and are thin as a rail! Good luck with your goals.
