5 kids in 10 years, and living in a state of near depression and being frustrated with myself for the last several years left me 85lbs over my goal weight! I really only gained weight while I was pregnant or nursing. I would gain a tone, lose some of it, get pregnant again, lose some again yet not all, and over and over and over! Finally, in April of this year, I had had enough. I think part of my problem was not believing that I really COULD do it…I tried sooo many times before, but would always slip up and give up…this time is the first time I’ve ever been able to slip up occasionally and yet get right back to it with no problem, and the difference is that I actually KNOW that I can and WILL do it! 53lbs down in 4 months! 32 to go! And not only do I look 10X better, I feel 100 times better! Talk about a confidence booster. Can’t wait until I’ve marked this goal “done!”.

Italy

I would love to live in Italy…hopefully Mario might get stationed there someday, or maybe even if we ever have the money we can buy a vacation home there.
I’ve never been, but from everything that I’ve seen and heard, it just sounds like a wonderful place. And to be so close to Rome, and so much other history, especially Biblical. The coast would be perfect…I love all the cities on the coast. The best would be a country home near the coast somewhere…
