Hi everyone! My name is Traci McClung, and I'm a stay-at-home mom of a beautiful 3 year old daughter. I have been married for 11 years, have had my dog for 16 1/2 years, and am a native of central Florida. The things I love most are hanging out with family and friends, flying my small airplane, and singing (or anything musical).

Hi everyone! My name is Traci McClung, and I'm a stay-at-home mom of a beautiful 3 year old daughter. I have been married for 11 years, have had my dog for 16 1/2 years, and am a native of central Florida. The things I love most are hanging out with family and friends, flying my small airplane, and singing (or anything musical).
My story in a nutshell is, that as an almost 6' tall woman, I've always had size "issues". At almost 39 years old, I've come to realize that I'm never going to be petite, so I've learned to embrace my fuller figure. I was in the Marine Corps for 8 years, and have maintained a moderate level of fitness for most of my life, but have had my times of falling-off-the-wagon so to speak. And let me tell you, when I fall off, I fall off hard! I've probably gained and lost 250 or more lbs over the course of my life! My most recent bout was losing the weight after having my first and only child at 35. I gained 60 lbs (yes - 60!) and joined Weight Watchers, successfully losing it by the time my daughter was 6 months old. Unfortunately, I never re-established an exercise routine, and have put back on 20 lbs, not to mention losing a lot of strength, and gaining a lot of body fat. I want to be a healthy, fit mom that can keep up with my active 3 year old, not to mention I want to look great for my 40th birthday next year! I have also always had a lifelong dream of running a marathon, and would like to begin training early next year to run the Marine Corps Marathon in 2009. I know I need to dedicate myself to the goal of getting healthy and strong in order to accomplish my goals, and I see Slim in 6 as the first step to getting there.
I look forward to charting my progress and watching my transformation, as well as sharing it with all of you!
