Rebecca's Story...

So... about me... My name is Rebecca Speakman and I am 25 years old. I am a wife and a full time mother of two awesome kids. Our son Auden is 2 and our baby girl Margaret Kate is 7 months old. I was always active and fit throughout high school and the first year or so of college, but started putting on the weight about the time I got engaged... I guess that's what can happen when you get comfortable!

I continued to gain weight over the next few years. Five years of marriage and two kids later I am heavier than I have ever been. I currently weigh 210.6 pounds. That is about twice as much as I weighed in high school! I am completely unhappy with my appearance and uncomfortable in my own skin thanks to years of not exercising and indulging in an unhealthy diet. As you can imagine, I have tried multiple diets over the past few years, but it doesn't take long for me to quit and fall back into my bad habits.

But, this time will be different!!! I am more motivated than ever to loose the weight.

I am ready to shed the pounds and get myself healthy again. My plan is simple... Follow a sensible diet full of good-for-you foods and exercise 5 times a week. It sounds simple, but this is a major change from my current lifestyle. After all, nothing changes if nothing changes! Good Luck to all of you! I am determined to win this weight loss challenge, SO WATCH OUT! : )
