What can I say? I am your average 30 something...I am married (5 years now) and have 2 yellow labs, my "kids". I use to work in the restaurant industry, and was able to work out all the time because of the flexibility of my job. I've always been pretty active, in shape, and able to eat whatever I want. Fast forward to today and it is a different story. I sit at a desk all day and have become so inactive (and fat!) that I have to watch everything I eat...no fun at all! I have gained almost 30 pounds since I got married and switched careers. I am here at fat secret to try and figure this out once and for all!

Whoa! Time for an update!!! I'm now your average 40 something...married almost 11 years now! I work in the restaurant industry again which is great for a flexible schedule but is horrible for eating on a normal schedule! I am still over 30 pounds heavier than when I got married and feel as determined as ever to get rid of that extra weight!!!
