Hi, my name is Donna...I live in Florida. Just introducting myself. I am here to help motivate me to lose a final thirty pounds. I was always an average size until I started having my children. I went from 116 to 197 in the four years of back-to-back children (3). So, in 2004 I woke up one morning and said that is enough and six months later I was 70 pounds lighter. I went from a size 18-20 to a size 6...through exercise and 1,000 calories a day. So, this past October I had to have a major operation and through that I entered into early menopause...yuck...and so I am guessing that is what initiated the recent weight gain...20 pounds in two months. So, my goal is to lose thirty pounds before the summers end. I have lost ten pounds so far, but I know that the last bit seems to be the most difficult to lose. Anyhow, this is my story. Wish me well...
