About Me!

My name is Heather and I have been trying to lose weight what seems like most of my life. I've been overweight basically my whole life. The only time I was probably "normal" was when I was in cheer and I thought I was overweight then. Ha. If only I could get back to that weight now LOL!

I started blogging my weight loss journey in 2004. I had several trips planned (Cancun, a cruise, and Hawaii) and I wanted to lose weight and look good.  I did. I lost 40 lbs that year. Then came 2005. That was the year my dh and I got pregant with our first child. So of course, there was no weight loss going on that year! Fastforward to 2006. I am now post baby and boy did I gain A LOT. I gained 60 lbs with my son. I felt and looked disgusting. I didn't want my picture taken with my baby and I didn't want to look back and regret not having pictures with my son. So I worked hard and I lost 50 lbs! Woo Hoo!!

Now it's, 2007. And we decided to add another child so our son could have a brother or a sister. Of course, we ended up having TWINS! I was actually at my lowest weight since BEFORE I got married when I got pregnant with the twins. And to top it off, I only gained 40 lbs with them. (It was hard to eat toward the end because my tummy just didn't have room!). Of course, now that I have a 2 year old and twin babies I have no time, life is chaotic and I'm just barely treading water. When I'm finally able to breathe again, I can sort of focus on weight loss. I basically did nothing in 2008. In 2009, I did great and was done to my lowest weight in my adult life! And then 2010 hit and all I've done this year is GAIN. I need to stop this downward (upward) spiral and get back down and get to goal. I WILL DO THIS!
