Hi! I am a 43 year old mom of two - happily married for 19 years. I have Multiple Sclerosis but no serious disabilities yet & I plan to keep it that way for as long as possible!

I started tracking in March 2008 to disprove something I heard about women miscalculating their daily calorie intake by aprx 50% per day. Through tracking I found out that, yes, I was a major miscalculator.

The real problem though is self sabatoge. I have all of the tools necessary to achieve & maintain a healthy weight, but something keeps holding me back. Fortunately, through tracking my calories & making some food changes, I had been able to keep off 15 of the pounds I lost for 8 months. Then I got sick for several weeks & gained back 7 lbs of it. I want to make sure I get this corrected before I'm right back where I started, which is where I am today!!

Because of the MS & having two active kids, I do sometimes disappear for awhile, but I believe this site helps me to live a healthier livestyle, so I will always come back when I am able.
