Hi! My name is Melinda. Thanks for taking the time to find out more about me and my website.

This project began about 6 months after I gave birth to my first child. I gained 54 lbs during my pregnancy so I knew I had some work cut out for me if I wanted to regain the figure I once had.  Things weren't going to be as simple as I had hoped though.  Between recovering from a cesarean delivery, caring for a newborn who hadn't yet figured out the difference between day and night, and adjusting to all the responsibilities of parenthood, I was a walking zombie.  Oh, and did I mention I'm also a full-time federal government employee. AHHH! When I finally had time to exercise all I wanted to do was catch up on sleep.  By the time my son was four months old I had lost some weight but wasn't even close to getting back into my pre-pregnancy clothes.  Two more months went by and there I was -- still overweight and miserable.  All I did was complain to my poor husband about how I hated the way I looked.  I wanted to get back to my old size-8-self so badly! I found eDiets on another website one day and filled out the profile.  The testimonials were very inspirational so I decided to sign up.  I started to lose weight right away.  In the beginning I gave into temptation a few times but the eDiets support group helped get me back on track.  The pounds started coming off again and today I'm 54 pounds lighter. 

My hope is that this site will help you find a weight loss program that will truly make a difference in your life. At the very least, it can serve as a one-stop-shop for some of the best weight loss programs available today.

Here's to a healthier you!

Melinda
