I am a SAHM with an adorable 15 month old, and I am tired of talking about losing this 20+ pounds I gained when I got married 7 - yes seven years ago. Just to reminisce for a second.... I had just graduated from HU and was content in the fact that I was working and that I might actually be able to shop in all those stores I use to say I would once I actually started making money. (I LOVE shopping!) I was wearing 8's back then and I didn't even own a scale. Then I met Mr. Hubby that summer and it was like my body said "ok you got him" and I lie to you not, by the time we got married the next year I had gained about 25 pounds! Then again it could have just been all those late night restaurant dinners. Too much wining & dining....Ladies be careful of men who like to eat but don't gain an ounce. Fortunately I carry my weight pretty well, but in comparison - I was a mess! You can imagine my dismay when I looked up one day and comfortable meant a size 14 - (thanks to my thighs!) Those days are over. I rolled out of those 14's real quick, but I have maintained in 12's, 10's, and briefly before baby - size 8. (can you say stress!) But gone were the days of skipping the dressing room!

Fast forward to 2006 and lucky for me I managed to carry my baby in my boobs and my belly (LOL!) so miraculously I stayed in a size 12 jeans my whole pregnancy and I gained about 37 pounds. All that is gone, so I have nothing to blame on my little man, and though my boobs have redistributed themselves as I'd like to say, and my thighs have lost some of that "prego cheese" as my neighbor calls it - I have a tailor that sends me Birthday, Christmas, and now Mother's Day cards. He thinks I'm gonna put his kids through college off my "adjustments". (jokes on him!)

That being said I want a body like Mel B. ya'll! This year!

My friends don't understand. I don't want to spend my life complaining about weight with them. I'm too cute to be wasting it on being a store house for blubber! My son has taken to lifting up my shirt and kissing and blowing on my belly. It's so embarrassing! I want it gone. So I need some help because I am the queen of being focused for all of 2 minutes when it comes to dieting. Hence my size 12's all this time! If you got ideas, tips, suggestions - I'm listening! Help me stay out of diet and make it to Mel B.!
