Lets see...a little about me. I live on the coast in a beautiful historic New England town. I have two beautiful redhead daughters ages 7 and 12 who are the highlight of my life. I work part-time as a reference librarian and am very active in their school PTO. I love to read, go to the beach, going out to watch my brothers rocking band play, and hanging out with friends and family.


I have been a yo-yo dieter my entire life and was featured in the June 1997 issue of Fitness Magazine as a success story after losing 90 pounds in one year. Unfortunately, after having my two daughters I put all of it back on and then some. In June of 2007 (two years ago) I decided enough was enough and joined an athletic club where a bunch of other moms I know had memberships. I started kickboxing and weight training. I just did what I could. By tracking on TDP and becoming more active I have dropped 75 pounds in the last two years. I am hoping to lose the last 15 this year. I am so fortunate to have found ths site and gain support from so many others who were as desperate as I was. I feel like I have my life back!!!

Update* The year 2009 brought many changes for me. My husband of 23 years and I split and are currently undergoing a stressful divorce to be final in January of this year. Needless to say I haven't been taking care of myself. Although I have gained only a few pounds back, I am unfit and not as happy as I used to be. I need motivation to get back to my gym and stay there. We all know the benefits of exercise on the mind, body, and soul!!!!
