  • Another year, another flat tire....

    Yep, add another one to the ranks for '09. A little about myself - am 48 years old and the full time working mom of six kids. Most would think with my high energy level that I should be reed thin....well, obviously that isn't it! I have steadily crept up and up and here I am today. And I have to say at this point I am a bit scared about how if I don't do something...and REALLY do it, how my health could be affected. I have noticed it is getting difficult to breath - I just don't feel like me anymore.

    I partly attribute it towards a few years ago when I went on Zoloft for a short period of time. That put on a gradual 10 pounds in about three months...and that was at 170! And now look at me. Or don't.

    I started on New Years - have done this before and had good success until I got PG with #6. I do the best when I can keep busy and occupied. I tried this last year- when it was around 190 and obvioulsy quit before too soon but now we have a full STEER and HOG in our freezer so I have plenty of protein to choose from...(4-H projects,post fair!)

    THANKS so much for all the pics of all of you to browse through. I picked my name from one of my daughter's comments after Christmas Day when she said she had a food baby in her belly...this is one baby I DON'T want!

    First Time: 1/00 - lost 15# until got oopsy'd by #6....

    Now I feel like I have to - I know I am having trouble catching my breath and I am so uncomfortable.

    I need to do this not just for me but for my family. And that scares me.
