I am a 29 yr old wife and mother of 3 children ages 5 1/2, 4, and 2 1/2. I work for myself as a Partylite Gifts consultant..(yes I am your local Candle Lady) and I have been a Massage Therapist for 8 yrs. I always thought I was a healthy eater and an active person, but I have been eating anything I want since the last baby and it shows. She's 2 1/2 now and I think too old for me to be blaming just having a baby on how I look. Time to get serious, I am committed (this time) to lose the extra weight I have in my middle. With each baby I have hung on to 5+ lbs. My goal is to tighten my stomache and feel more confident in my clothes. I have always been a bit self concious about my stomache and am committed to focus on losing it now, before I turn 30 next year. My goal is to lose 2+ lbs per week for the next 8 wks and get into a new 2 piece swimsuit for our family vacation in September.
