About
I am a wife and mom of three boys. I began my weightloss journey in January 2012 with Weight Watchers. I have currently lost 50 pounds and I have about 60 pounds left to lose before my goal. I love food and if I feel that I can't have foods that I love, I will feel deprived and lose control. Because of that I began taking recipes of foods that you wouldn't normally consider foods to eat to lose weight and altering the recipes so that I could still indulge on occasion. My kids can't tell a difference and they are loving being my taste testers.
