Kids: 6 yr old twins - Lucas & Mason
A little about you: I'm a mom of two outrageously gorgeous and smart 6 yr old boys that are in 1st grade. Mason takes after my artistic side (I have an art degree from McNeese) and Lucas takes after my curiously intellectual side (the other day we discussed gravitational pulls as part of the Big Band Theory while on the way home from Beaumont). I live in a really rural, middle-of-nowhere place. I work in marketing and spend my days attached to a computer. Love being outside when there aren't so many mosquitos, love to workout & love to eat! So far, I've completed one round of p90x, finished my first 5k and I've lost 83.5 lbs. since January.

A little about you: Well, I'm Curtis. I have lots of endocrine problems due to complications from a neurosurgery for headaches in December 2000. I lost my hypothalamus, which works in conjunction with your pituitary gland. Which controls pretty much ALL of the hormones in your body. And when one doesn't work neither does the other. So now since my body doesn't produce hormones I am on all artificial hormones. Thyroid hormone, Anti-diuretic hormone, growth hormone (HGH), and Testosterone. While technically I am using "Performance Enhancing Drugs" it's not in a high enough dose to enhance any performance. It's more of a dose that would be as much as the average person normally has in their own system. My condition is called Hypopituiterism. So I have a hard time losing weight when I physically don't feel like doing anything. But I do, everyday, on my own, go to the gym and I go twice a week to college.

A little about you:
I am a stay at home mom. I was a healthy weight most of my life until I had 3 miscarriages and fell into a deep depression. After nearly 8 yrs. of being overweight and in a very dark place, I have finally worked through the final stages of that grief and accepted the loss. I became determined to be me again. I've lost 83 lbs. since April 2011, most of it since Sept. 2011. I feel like myself again. And I can be here for the family that I have.
