I am the happily married mother of a sweet baby boy, Cayden, born October 7, 2010. I am also the "mother" of three basset hounds. I have been married for eleven years to an amazing man--I am very lucky!

I joined TDP in January 2008 to help me with maintaining my weight. When I graduated from law school (and realized there was life after the bar exam), I saw how much weight I had put on without even noticing it. I am only 5 feet tall (barely) so every little bit shows. Anyway, when I started working, I decided it was time to take control and start eating right and exercising. Within about 9 months, I lost the 20-25 pounds I had gained and have maintained that loss (and even lost some more)!

I am here on TDP to help me keep my calories where they should be, eat healthier (i.e. less processed foods) and still enjoy the things I like. I have been very inspired and motivated by everyone here so far!
