I am a 41 year old mother of 7. I have 6 daughters and 1 son. My oldest is 20 and married and my youngest just turned 1. I currently work for JELD-WEN inc as an accountant specializing in fixed assets. My husband and I will be celebrating 21 years of marriage in May. My goal is to get to a healthier weight so that I will be able to be more active with my family. I am so tired when I get home from my desk job that I can barely make dinner. I know that a lot of my problem is carrying over 300 lbs. I use to be quite active and fit. I did dance, race walking, aerobics, lifting weights, and swimming. Now I get winded and hurt just walking 2 blocks and can barely make it up the stairs some days. The fact that I haven't completely lost my flexibility, I can still almost touch my toes, gives me hope that I can lose weight and get back into shape. It isn't too late.
