Hello to everyone. I am 37 and have been married to the same man for 17 years coming up June 17th. This is a big deal to me, because most of my family have been divorced including my parents and one set of grandparents. I have to kids who are 14 and 17 and both of them are overweight also which I consider mainly my fault. I was chunky when I was growing up, but not really overweight and slimmed down in my high school years wearing only a size 5 and believe it or not I was a cheerleader. I gained weight with my first child from around 122 to 175 and never lost. My second child came along and I did much better and returned to my previous weight from having my first child of 175. Instead of trying to lose, I just gained more weight then I went to nursing and continued to put on more weight. I have been working as a nurse since 1993. I am now at 268.8lbs and feel awful. I sleep all the time and just cannot get motivated to exercise or eat right. My family history consist of Diabete, Strokes, Cancer, and other heart problems. We also have a family history on my grandmother's side of being overweight. My main goal is to change my eating habits and exercise, not only for me, but for my kids. I will eventually post my before pictures when I get the courage up. I am shy and I think at present that is one step that I cannot take. Even though I have been on this website for a little while I am counting 7/21/06 as a new beginning. I hope to succeed.
