I'm Kim, 30 years old, single mother to a 6 year old and 18 month old twins - all girls. I am 5' 3" and have been big all my life and just progressively got bigger and bigger - topping out at 357 when I was pregnant with the twins and hovering around 315 now. I work 40+ hours a week at a desk job and go to school 8 hrs on Saturdays. Factoring in playing with and taking care of the kids and the home, I had the perfect excuse of lack of time to not care about my weight. But my daughter just started Kindergarten and while not obese, she is overweight for her age and she has breathing trouble if she gets too active. I want to be a role model for my daughters and I want to be able to play with them. I know people say you should lose weight for yourself, but they are my motivation.
