“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”

My Story

My weight has crept up due to circumstances beyond my control. Within the last two years I have been pregnant two times. The first pregnancy was with twins and resulted in one miscarriage (vanishing twin syndrome) and one stillborn child. The second pregnancy resulted in another still born baby boy. It adds insult to injury that I gained the pregnancy weight without gaining the blessing of a child. Thus, I would like to rid myself of this constant reminder (the weight)of my losses, both emotional and physical.

I am also physically isolated from my extended family and friends, as I now live abroad and would love any support anyone can offer! Thanks in advance and best of luck to each of us in our weight loss endeavors!

My Goals For This Year:

I will lose 33 pounds within the next nine months.
