Hey, Im Jackie. I'm a 27 year old mom and wife. I have a 5 year old little boy starting kindergarten next week. *tear*
I've had a slight weight problem on and off through my life but was never a problem till after my son was born and the weight never came back off. My dad died last year and another 15 pounds grabbed a hold of me. We've been trying to have another child for almost 2 years with no success so now is my time to make a change and do something about all this.
I'm hoping to beat my own laziness and get my booty in gear.

    You go girl! It's amazing how over the years weight just creeps up on you. I lost my father too 3 years ago and managed to put on 30 lbs. I am hoping by talking with people like you that we can inspire each other to lose the weight and feel good again.

    Thanks guys. :)
    One thing I never realized till I was in the situation was how much STRESS can take a toll on your body. I needed to let go of it to get to where I am now. Now to get my body under less stress of the weight too!
    I spent my morning cleaning (productive AND good movement) and planning to walk this evening.

    I hope to meet more of you and help each other along!
