Day 1

Hello everyone :)  My name is Audra and I am new to this site.  Today is my first day to join this site and start my body makeover.  I have gained too much weight here in the past 3 years.  I have 2 grown kids and now a toddler.  I remarried 3 years ago and have this new life, new family, new home, new job etc....so as you can see with all the changes and stress I put on weight.  I have gained 20 lbs in 4 years.  Years ago, back in 2004 I got down to a size 7/8 doing the Atkins diet and excercise. I had not seen that dress size in over 10 years then.   This time I plan to do the same again now that things are stable and I have my summer off (Im a school teacher).  Wish me luck and please give me feedback!  Thanks!

Today I began my day with great excitement at 5:30 am.
