My name is Jodi and I am located in Sparr, Florida, just north of Ocala. My husband and I are on a weightloss mission. For the most part we have both slowly been gaining weight since our children were born 15 years ago. I got a jump start on my husband after gaining 50lbs during my pregnancy with my oldest. I lost about half of that weight and then became pregnant with my daughter less than a year later. I joined Metabolic Research Center's weightloss program and loss roughly 30lbs but never really got back to my starting weight. I was also a two pack a day smoker. I resumed that bad habit after having my kids, but quit two years ago and have gained an additional 30lbs. Three weeks ago I actually weighed a whopping 238lbs and that is when I heard about programs like the one I joined. So here I am now on my fourth week into the program and I have lost a total of 20lbs to date and am excited about the new me to come! My husband joined as well making this so much easier for me. He has been a great pardner!
