    Hello!

    I'm Hilary, 28 year old mom to three. I'm 5'1" and currently weigh 219.6 and am looking to get myself to 125...might as well be 100 pounds to lose!

    I have a sit down on my butt zero activity job. I have the walk away the pounds series that I'm going to start today (I got them ages ago and will now be starting up again with them). I have done Carb Addicts a few times, and honestly love it...I was never hungry and loved not having to starve myself. I am going to pick that back up again.

    I was hospitalized in October for a week due to adult onset asthma. I also have sleep apnea. I was told if I just lost the weight, I would drop both problems. I sat on my butt and ended up gaining 20 more pounds. Well, no more.

    Looking forward to getting to know you all!
