I'm 46 years old. Born and raised in Southern California, I now live in Ocala, Florida. I have many titles, Daughter, Sister, Mom, Nonni & Turtle.

I'm so proud of my children. Linnea(26) she's married to Daniel and they have blessed me with my granddaughter Hayden(2yrs). Malori(24) is married to Tommie. They have given me two gifts, my grandsons Cole(5yrs) & Brady(almost 2yrs). Zechariah(16) is my baby. Being so much younger than his sisters, he's like a single child with 3 Moms. His passions are Motocross racing, texting and Play Station. And not necessarily in that order. :o)

Pete's my man. He and I are active in the U.S. Military Vets Motorcycle Club. So yeah.... I'm a Biker Chick. My nickname is "Turtle" because I'm always late. Pete says it's the only thing I need to change about myself.

I have furry babies.... Mercedes(Pomeranian), Rocky(Pomeranian) and Danger(black cat).

My kids are my world. My grandbabies are the sunshine in my world. My furry kids make life fun. Pete keeps my world spinning.

As for my weight.... well I've had asthma all my life. About 15 years ago I was on high doses of Prednisone for almost a year. I packed on 60 pounds. I have yo-yo'd with more weight ever since then with each bout of asthma requiring more courses of Prednisone. Thankfully my asthma has been very calm this past year and I have not required any steroids. Now here I am, 100+ pounds over weight. Breathing!!! But fat! I have not tried very hard to loose weight. My man loves me the way I am, which has made it easy to keep things this way. However, I'm not happy with myself. I want to buy clothes that don't have XX on them. I want to play with my grandkids. For years my asthma kept me from playing.... I don't want fat to take the rest of them. I want to be healthy!

So now I begin a new adventure! *smile*
