ABOUT THE OWNER

Ever since I was a little girl, I had an issue with my weight. As an adult, each pregnancy increased weight to a level that I found unmanageable! With my first child, I gained 150 pounds; followed by my second child, gaining 75 pounds. Between my pregnancies, I lost 75 pounds by doing the Akins diet and Yo-Yo dieting. Before leaving the hospital with my second child, I had already begun trying to change my eating habits. I was just too tired of being overweight and I wanted to be healthy; not only for me, but for my kids as well. At that time, I was 303 pounds when I started changing my eating habits and went down to 240 pounds within a year. I started going to the gym, but found that my weight has plateaued. That plateau lasted 4 long years.
