Ok I am 41, married for the 2nd time (I really think its takes two times to get it right- seriously), mom to a 10 year old daughter. I work in the defense industry at a shitty desk job that bores me to tears, and last weekend 4/13 started back to school to get a masters in teaching. This will be my second masters degree - not bragging, just making the connection between two marriages and two degrees HA! I am also a hobby baker, and a fairly busy one. NOT a hobby I would suggest for someone who wants to lose weight. We have cake and icing everywhere! The upside is that I am rarely interested in eating it thanks to desensitization. THANKFULLY.

I have watched myself gain 20 lbs in the past 3 years and have decided enough is enough. My body was the same for many years, I had a serious weight loss that was AWESOME *singing praises* then I fell off the wagon and slowly but surely gained it all back. What a buncha crap. I wish I could go back 4 or 5 years and smack my 35 year old self.

Anyhoo, thanks for reading. Best of luck to all of us :)
