A little about myself.. 
I am 38 years old, married, work full-time and have two boys.....I have been on a roller-coaster ride with my weight for as long as I can remember.. During the grade school years I was average weight and then going into high school I was about 20 pounds overweight... in between my freshman year and sophomore year I lost the weight and grew several inches... by the time I graduated I was probably close to actually being underweight for my height... After entering college I put on the typical weight but was still OK ... when I had my first child I was still a great weight.. Over the next 9 years, until I had my second child I put on about 10 pounds or more every year... I can always remember thinking I was always overweight (even the times I wasn't) .... I started the weight loss process at 264 lbs and am now at 250 lbs (required weight loss for the surgery).. I love to read, watch TV and movies, watch my kids play sports and be with my family and friends... I lost my mother to cancer almost four years ago and not a day goes by I don't miss her... I'm lucky I still have my dad.. he's great... My kids and husband, are to me, the best I could of ever wished for.. there are days we all drive each other crazy but that's just life... 
:) I am very excited and nervous for this journey but think it is the best thing I could ever do for myself...
