I love to talk but writing a bio seems to be a bit difficult for me. So, I'll simply say that I'm a 41 yr old, married, no children, African-American woman and Executive Assistant who resides in Baltimore. I picked up an extra 10-15 lbs over the last two years. It's not much but enough whereas my clothes don't fit to well. Not to mention, the weight gain is in my upper back and abdomen, which is not attractive at all. I'll be 42 in June so I hope to have lost the weight by Memorial Day weekend. So far, I'm on day 4 of no bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, soda, juices or sweets of any kind. I have yet to weigh myself since January 16th. At that time I weighed 146 lbs. My ideal weight is 130lbs but I'll also be just at happy at 135lbs.
