Single mom of 2 teenagers (one boy, one girl). I gained 90 lbs. with my first pregnancy.  5 months later I added another 50 lbs. with my second pregnancy. I've yo-yo'd for the last 16 years and have still not lost much.  At my heaviest, I weighed almost 300 lbs! Currently, I'm not far from it.  I'm scared because not only does high blood pressure run in my family, but so does diabetes.  I'm hell bent on changing myself because I already see my kids developing my bad habits and living overweight.  My son now has sleep apnea and my daughter is going thru counseling for her eating disorder.  My kids have always been my strength and love in hard times. Now, I'm ready to do this for the people I love . . . including my "new" number one fan, me.
