I'm 41 years old mother of three. I have been happily married for coming upon 13 years at the end of September. I have always struggled with my weight and only half heartedly attempted do anything about it most of my life.

 After I had my son in March of 2000, I became serious about getting healthy. I began to calorie count in a journal and took up running. I went from just over 200 lbs at the time of my sons birth down to around 160. I was training for my first marathon when I became pregnant with my daughter. After her birth in February 2002, I started back on the fitness trek but not as successful as after the birth of my son. Then as the children got older, the hectic life of school, work and after school sports, my eating and exercise habits deteriated.

I lost my fourth child at 18 weeks in early August of this year. I have been struggling emotionally since and my body image was not helping. I had been successful with calorie counting in the past and stumbled on the calorie-counting web sight on a Google search. It's been 5 days now and so far so good.

Just taking one day at a time. :-)
