I am a 35 year old mother of 3 (17, 12 and 4). I am a professional and work outside the home. I lost 30 pounds on Weight Watchers in 2003, then got pregnant with the baby. When i joined peertrainer, I was as heavy or heavier than I was the day I gave birth to him! I have been with Peertrainer since November of 2007 and have lost roughly 40 pounds and have kept it off for over 6 months so far.

I got married and moved to another city in 2010. I came to this city for grad school, but I decided that it wasn't for me, and now I'm a freelancer, which is my dream job. :) Oh, and I'm a 34-year-old from the Midwest! :)
