About Me

I'm a 52yr old wife and mother whose ready to make some changes.  Weight has crept up with the birth of my children coupled with 15-20 lbs with each military move reaching 296 currently, my highest was 311. Ouch!.  I was a size 10-12 when I got married. Planning on losing about 150 lbs.  Youngest one moving out again this week. Ready to be the star in my own life, and that starts by taking care of me.  I have dreams and goals I still want to accomplish.  Not waiting on anyone else.  Others pursue their goals it's about time I pursue mine.  Excited to see how the year unfolds.
