Cricket R.
Hello. My name is Cricket and I have been a lurker on this site for about 9 months. I am 41 yo and married. We have 4 children all together-2 of mine and 2 of his. We also have 1 awesome grandchild. I started gaining weight with my first pregnacy at 21. I continuted with this trend through most of my 20s. I divorced my first husband and ended up losing all of it and getting down to 130 lbs. I met my new husband and over the next couple of years gained all of it back. To be honest, when my husband and I got married, I weighed the most I ever had (and thought I ever would). Now 6 years later, I am heavier and ready to do something about it. I am amazed at how much being heavy has impacted my life. My health has really started to deteriorate which completely sucks! But in addition, it has changed the way that I am a mom to my kids. I am too embarassed to wear a swim suit or sometimes even shorts. I LOVE the water, but I know I look bad and don't go. I am ready to be healthy but also to LIVE!
