Hi, I am Lisa, 48, and a mother of 3 sons. They are 31,30, and 17 years of age.  I currently weigh the most I have in my life and it has got to go.  I just joined the 17 day weight loss chalange on Team Dr. Phil.  I have to do this!  I have always been a large girl, but so much larger then I was 9 months pregnant and never had stretch marks until I gained this weight.  When I was at 175lbs, several years ago, I was thin, so I think this should be my goal weight, even though it might be harder due to my age and slowed down metabolism.  I wish everone luck, health and happiness!  Lisa
