Live the Way You Wish To Be!


I am 44 years old. I've battled my weight since my teen years and became obese when I got pregnant at 28. My goal is to lose weight and get in shape. I need to establish and maintain a regular exercise routine, cut out junk food, and lower my daily calories. My current mantra is "keep it simple."
