My name is Lisa and I am 27 years old. I have a 3 year old named Seth who is the center of my universe. I wasn't always overweight - my weight gain started somewhere around puberty. I was always bigger than my other friends, but not by much.

For a few years I was able to maintain the same weight - that was until I got pregnant with my son in 2006 and gained 75 lbs. The first few months after I had my son I lost about half of the baby weight then I quit losing. Within the last year I have put it all back on (and then some) and now I weigh what I did when I was 9 months pregnant. I am doing Weight Watchers on my own to try and get back to what I weighed before I had my son.

I have friends and family doing it along with me for moral support (and for their own benefit as well). I know with the support of my friends and family (and hopefully here) I will be able to make my goal and possibly more.
