My name is Kara and I live in Florida. I am 30 years old and a single mother to the most wonderful 5 year old daughter anyone could ever have! I work full time and will be starting the Occupational Therapy Assistant program in the August. I love spending time with my daughter, as she is the most important thing to me. I usually find something for us to get in to, whether it's going to the beach, fishing, going out with friends, or just her and I hanging out on the couch..I truly enjoy being with her. And I enjoy an occasional break from motherhood by meeting up with my friends for shopping, coffee, dinner and/or drinks. :-)

Now, the REAL reason I'm here. lol I started last year eating less due to a "boy" (yeah, we'll call him a boy because that's exactly what he is lol) and around that time I was 162lbs. I didn't really plan on dieting or anything, just started eating less and then what I did eat I made sure it was healthy. I didn't lose weight at first, I just felt better. Then I slowly turned to Weight Watchers when I realized it wasn't has hard as I thought it was to eat better. I followed the plan, become very into it, and exercised most days of the week. I finally reached my goal of 120 lbs in January 2008 and actually went down to 117lbs. Since then I've started to slack and am back up to 120, but am determined to get to my goal of 110!! A really good friend of mine told me about this site...so here I am! I am excited to use this as part of my motivation and to get to know others in the same boat! :-)
