HI! My name is Laura from Michigan.  I am 32 years old and I am 5-5. I currently am 235 and losing slowly. I have 2 kids, Selena(7), and Steven Jr.(5) that keep me pretty busy. I also have a 17 yr old stepson who currently thinks he knows it all! He left the house in Aug, living with friends,etc. I am a volunteer at both my children's schools every week. I try to stay involved as much as I can. I had custody of my 2 nieces, 10 & 12 yr olds, but they left Jan 9. I had them for 9 months. I also had their 2 siblings back in April for 8 weeks until they found another cousin that would take them at the end of May. That cousin has them all now and I am feel like I am missing a part of me. I am getting through it, though! I love my family and enjoy that its just the 4 of us now! :-)
