Bio: I'm 41 and married to a great guy for the past 15 years. My stepdaughter from his first marriage is now 28 and on her own. We adopted 3 siblings from foster care in Dec. 06 (wow time flies). They are keeping us very busy - but that is a good thing. They are 7, 8 & 10. I've been heavy most of my life but I'm blessed with a muscular build, so if I do the right things as far as eating and working out I can look really good. My lowest consistent weight was in the 150's - I was a size 6 and working as a flight medic so there was a lot of incentive to stay healthy. But then getting married, moving, changing jobs all had me changing my habits and the weight started piling on. I reached my highest weight in Jan 08 and was totally freaked by 258lbs!! I could see it wouldn't be long before I was 300lbs if I didn't change something. Add to that the kids who are always asking me to ride bikes, etc.. and I knew I had to change.
