About Alana Jo

July 10th, 2007

Hi. I am Alana Jo.  I am 26 years old and I am from Eastern, Ky. I am happily married to Michael, 30. We have 2 wonderful little boys. Bailey McKenzie and Dalton Maddix. Bailey is 6 and Dalton is 2.

I have been heavy my entire life. Maybe not FAT, but heavier than I should have been. I was happiest when I met my DH in 2000. I was about 200 lbs and I looked great. I would like to be at that weight again. Of course if I could get below that I would be thrilled as well. 

Michael and I have been married 7 years and I have progressively gained weight. Ive tried a couple times to lose it. Id lose maybe 20 lbs and fall off the wagon. Then I would gain that 20 lbs back plus  some.

I gave birth to Bailey in 2001. The day I came home from the hospital with him I was 255. I had Dalton in 2005. The day I came home from the hospital I was 275 lbs. In Jan 2006 I tipped the scales at 307.  I hadnt been on the scales in a LONG time but when I saw the 2** was now 3** I about fainted. I wanted to cry, puke, scream, cuss, etc. I knew I had to do something. So here I am.
