"It's not Perfection that gets you there, but Persistence." - Anonymous

I am a well rounded person that loves people, most especially family and friends. I am easy going, fun to be around. I am very sensitive. I have learned to try and put "me" first, that took me a long time to learn as the needs of others often came before my own. This enables me to be a happier person and in turn I am able to take care of my family and friends. I am a wife and a mother of three beautiful children; a boy and two girls.

I have been trying to lose weight since my late twenties, after the birth of my first two kids. I have been yo-yo dieting ever since trying everything under the sun. I had successes, but not too long afterwards the weight would eventually creep back on.

I started my weight loss journey in January of 2006. At that time I had 46 pounds to lose. I lost 29 of those 46. I was so ecstatic as I had not been under 150 pounds in I can't tell you how long, and I actually made it to 140 pounds. Because I was feeling so good, I wasn't as careful or as on plan as I should have been so I put back on 17 of the 29 pounds I lost after a year. So here I am in June of 2009 (that's when I started again) ready to get back to my lifestyle change because Weight Watchers really works as long as you stay on plan. I don't know why I veered off into the wrong direction because I never felt hungry or deprived while following the plan. But I'm back, and it's okay that I fell off the wagon because I'm on it again.

I look forward to getting to know many of you, and as always, thanks for stopping by. :-)
