Hello everyone. My name is Renelou. I'm a 28 yr old mother of two and just started a new job. I love it, but it is time consuming. It's been almost a year and I have gained 8 lbs in this past year. I want to get to my goal and stay there. I'm not in a rush to lose it, so this time I'm pacing myself. Let's see how long it will take to lose the 19 lbs. I do have a until Apr 2012 to look bikini ready for a 7 day cruise. That gives me one year and 8 months (20 months). So here goes everything!
