I'm 41 years old. I have been married for 21 years. We have two children, a 19-year-old daughter and a 16-year-old son. Our daughter goes off to college the middle of August. I have recently received my certificate in Medical Transcription and Medical Coding. Currently looking for a job that I can do from home. I had a back fusion on 2004 that forced me to quit my job at Wal-Mart, so I had to find another line of work that wasn't physical labor. Needless to say, I've packed on the pounds. I've tried almost every diet form Atkin's to Weight Watchers. Currently using the Fat Smash diet, but I'm getting frustrated at this one too.....If anyone has any tips or encouragement, please feel free to lend them to me....
