I'm happily married, waiting eagerly to adopt (we've been approved and are waiting to be matched) and are hoping for two infants under 15 months. While I have medical issues that make weight loss harder for me, they also make it more important that I get the weight off and keep it off. I'm under the care of an endocrinologist and a nutritionist to help me get things in a shape other than round, and the "diet" that I'm following is a life change that needs to be permanent for me... but it's also been very doable.

I've got 2 cats, 2 dogs, one husband, and live in the Tulsa area, where I write my devotional blog (www.HuMJah.com) from home. I'm blessed to lead a content life these days, and I consider this weight loss journey a path to gain more days to enjoy this life.
