Hi, my name is Melanie: I am thankful and blessed that as a young woman I didn't have too much trouble with my weight. BUT...

...after moving to the United States and getting married (read change of diet and lifestyle), the pounds started sneaking on... and then came the children!

With each pregnancy I put on more and more weight until after the birth of my 4th I weighed 230 lbs (about 104 kgs).

One year after his birth, I'd managed to lose a whole 10 pounds. It was time to do something drastic...

And I did it! I got down to 179 lbs (81 kgs)! Then what I was doing stopped working and I regained more than half of what I'd lost.

Now, with my 40th birthday coming up mid-December, I'm ready to try something new. To make permanent changes. To slim down and get healthy.

So please join me as I share the journey of my goal to "Lose 40 by 40!"
