Introduction Text I'm a mother of 3 and have been married to my lovely husband for 11 years. I was an overweight teenager and became a healthy weight during my marriage although I fluctuated quit a bit. I had gained 50lbs. over 2 years while struggling with depression. I had reached my goal weight of 130 lbs with the help of spark people and was feeling great (most days). I want to be a healthy Mom and set a good example for my kids especially my 2 girls. I have been everything from a 2 to a size 16. Although I was at my highest weight (185) when I joined Sparkpeople at the beginning of 2010. I can honestly say there has never been a time when I was not worried about my weight. With the confidence I gained I participated in 2 fitness competitions and placed 2nd in the most recent one. In the past year I have gained almost 40lbs and would really like to be back at 127 this spring so I can get back into all my cute clothes for our 12th anniversary Paris vacation! I know I can do it and I relish the support of the Spark community. A saint is a person who falls down 6 times and gets back up the 7th.

My goal is to be a size 4/6 (or even 2) this summer. I am looking forward to regaining the cut and toned I had at the end of my last competition.

I am a Lacto- Ovo Pescaterian. Which basically means I am a vegetarian who eats dairy, eggs and seafood on occasion. I eat 5 smaller meals a day. I usually have a big salad (with protein) for lunch. I also enjoy Yoga, Pilates and belly dancing.

I am a teacher of students from toddlers to seniors. I love teaching. I am a school teacher, but I also teach dance, yoga, theater and group fitness classes. I am a certified Personal Trainer but I am looking forward to going back to school for my degree in counseling. I have 3 beautiful children with my husband and we now live in Bridgeport CT.

I love to read Sophia Kinsella, Charlaine Harris, Louisa May Alcott, Stephanie Meyer and Jane Austen to name a few. Some of my favorite movies are the Wedding Singer, Gigi,, Die Hard, My Neighborhood Totoro, Amelie, Little Women, Monsters Vs. Aliens, Bridget Jone's Diary,Ever After & Why Did I get Married. I am hopelessly addicted to True Blood and Breaking Bad
