Hello all,

My name is Brandi. Over the past 5 years I have picked up 55 pounds and it's time to shed them. I have a son and daughter and within the last 3 years I have receieved custody of my 2 stepdaughters. Trying to blend a family togethers was very trying and stressfull. Going from 2 kids to 4 kids was a very trying time for me. Now I am happy to say I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I am here because it is time for me to take back over my life. Becoming a better and healthier mother and fiance to my family is a goal. I have the help of my fiance and kids, but I also need a grougp from the outside who knows how I feel.

I just to let you all know I am here if you need me and hopefully I can count on you as well.

I'm sure you will find the support you need here..
Good luck on your weight loss and being there for your family. I know what it is like to put two familys together, it can be a very stressful time. But the more you take care of yourself the more you can take care of your family..
