My name is Jessica. I have been working on losing weight since August 6th of last year. I have managed to lose 36.6 so far and I feel great. My husband gave me a cruise for my birthday in December and we are going in July. I need to lose 50 more lbs to get down to my target weight. I have found that I am not hungry and I am getting more energy to work out. My main problem is TIME. I am a school teacher, graduate student, mother of an active 5 year old, and VERY active 10 month old, an assistant softball coach, and a wife. I can hardly find time to breathe. I will graduate in May with my masters in counseling, and will go on my cruise in July and would love to be able to wear a swimsuit with pride. My doctor has removed the diagnosis of obease from my chart, it now states " moderately overweight" I want to remove that too!!! Good luck and support to all out there, just remember we all have our downfalls, it is better to have a support system!
