Hi, my name is Heather Taylor.  I am a wife and a mother of 2 adorable boys, a 4 year old and a 4 week old.  I was already overweight when I got pregnant and I gained an additional 50 pounds.  I have lost 30 of that, but have approx. 80 to go before I will be at my ideal weight and be happy with myself again.  I am taking the 17 Day Challenge because I am very concerned with my heart health.  My mother died 10 years ago at the ripe young age of 59 from high blood pressure issues.  I, myself, have had some trouble with that and I am only 35.  I miss my mother and I would love to be around to see my grandchildren and great grandchildren!  I am a hot and healthy momma hiding in a fat suit!!!!  :)  HELP!!!!
