Wow... where do I begin? I am a 36 year old mother of one.  I was at my highest weight when pregnant - 240 lbs.  I have at one time dieting gotten down to 135.  I was a size 5 at that weight.  That was taking herbalife and phentermine.  Needless to say, I have taken phentermine off and on a long time.  I have mild heart palpitations sometimes. 

I have a very supportive family.  My sister had gastric bypass in December 2005 and then had a body lift in December of 2006.  So in total she lost 135.  My family has been very excited and my husband even went on the pre-surgery diet with me (well, a few days!). 

I have a 3 1/2 year old son, Ethan, that is the joy of my life.  I work in the health care industry as a marketer.  I volunteer with Meals on Wheels, Nursing Home Advocacy and the Alzheimers Association.  
My goal is to get completely fit and get my yoga certification and to possibly run a "small" marathon!
OHHH - I would LOVE to take a photo one day that is a full shot and not me successfully cropping it!

I have struggled with my weight forever.  I have tried every diet and diet pill there is I think.  I do actually like to work out.  I have worked out off and on all my life.  I still have issues with portion control though.  I love to eat and I don't control that well at all.
