Battle of the Bulge


It's time to make a change. You know you need to lose weight; you have read all the health benefits. What is stopping you? Late night snacking, salty snacks, food for comfort... the list goes on and on.

Only you can make the change. Only you can win the battle of the bulge. So come join me in my efforts to fight this waging war. I am a single mom of three beautiful kids and like you, I need to sitck around for a while. I have won the battle before. After, having my babies, I was successful in shedding 100lbs and kept it off for over six years. I reached that mid-life time, yes the dreadful 40s and slowly watched it all creep back on. "Give yourself something to work toward - constantly" Mary Kay Ash, this is especially true with weight loss/management.

Welcome to the first day of your new life, hopefully a healthier, happier, you!
