I'm a 47-year-old wife and mom of two college-age daughters. I also have three pupkids: Magic is a 10 year old Westie, Maisie is an 8 year old Westie, and Gus is a 2 year old Jack Russell/Shih Tzu mix. They keep the house lively.

I never struggled with weight until after the birth of my first child. I lost all the pregnancy weight with Nutri-System, then became pregnant 13 months after the birth of my first. Having 2 babies in diapers didn't allow me a whole lot of time to focus on me. By that time, Nutri-System in our area had closed so I tried Jenny Craig. It was so difficult to make meetings and weigh-ins; I eventually gave up. My weight gain continued and I guess would keep climbing if I didn't do something about it. I have also done Weight Watchers, South Beach, tried it on my own, joined Curves (our local one closed), got a Wii Fit, etc. My knees hurt so bad when I exercise. I have HBP, borderline Type 2 diabetes and generally have no energy or flexibility. I WANT ALL THIS TO CHANGE! I am now on the road to a new me. I had my initial consultation with the surgeon's insurance specialist, have done the online seminar. 2011 will be MY year!
