About Me

Hi. I am Megan. I am 22 years old, a single mom, and for the first time in my life I am overweight. I'm still not sure how it happened. Like almost any new mom I would love to blame it on the pregnancy. I ate too much and exercised too little. I spent 6 of the 9 months on bed rest. I had a slow recovery from the C-section. However, as my daughter approaches 18 months old I can no longer spew excuse after excuse for my large size. It's time to take control. And it's time to do something about it.

I weighed in at 215lbs a month ago at a doctors appointment. I was upset to say the least. I've never weighed more than 150 in my life! And at 5'6" I still thought I was a cow. Despite being evenly proportionate then, I was anything but even now.

I can best describe my body shape as an upside down Pear. Big bust, big waist, no hips and no butt. Not the most attractive figure with celebrity icons like J.Lo and Beyonce shakin' their bootylicious assets all over MTV.

What I want is a smaller waist.
What I need is more energy.
And what am I going to do about it?

Read on dear friends, because this is only the beginning.
