I come from a family of overweight women.  At an early age, I decided that being overweight wasn’t for me, and that I would do whatever it took to not be fat.  I worked very hard, exercising and watching everything I ate in order to keep my figure, but by the time my first child was six years old, I was still struggling to lose the last 10 pounds that I had gained when I was pregnant.

Then, luckily, I found out about this program, and started on it right away.

 In two short weeks, that troublesome 10 pounds melted away, and I was very pleased.  I kept that weight off for a year and a half (even through the holiday season!), until I became pregnant with my second child.

 During that pregnancy, I gained twice as much weight as I had with my first child.   I went up to a size 14, and I was 30 pounds overweight after the baby was born. 

  I felt miserable.  My self-esteem was so low that I not only didn’t want to go out in public, but I didn’t even want my family and friends to come over to see the new baby because I was ashamed of my weight.
