I'm 42 years old. I have 2 children ages 19 & 7. I have been over weight since the birth of my first child. I have been on lots of diets and so far the only thing that has worked for me is counting my calories.I live in south Mississippi and everything is fried here, so it makes it very hard to stick to anything. I am determind this time to lose the weight. I know it will take some time, it wont just wake up in the morning and it will all be gone ( that would be nice though!) I have to just keep telling myself " One day at a time!"
