I am so excited to be an official member of the coolest weight-loss site on the planet! My name is Brandi and I live in beautiful Waco, TX with my wonderful husband, Bird and my 3 adorable children Nathan-7, Daniel-6, and Abigail-3. I have been a committed Christian since the age of 14 and love growing closer and closer to the Lord. He truly is my all in all and I love Him!
I (mostly) stay at home and homeschool my children and LOVE it. I say “mostly” because a few hours a week I work as a behavior therapist with children with Autism utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Besides God and my family, Autism is my greatest interest. I have been working with children with Autism for over 14 years and find it truly intriguing and rewarding. And to make it a bit more personal, we realized about a year or so ago that our oldest son, Nathan, has Asperger Syndrome which has a lot of characteristics in common with high-functioning Autism. So that puts a whole new spin on things! Thankfully, with God’s help and direction, we are seeing improvement in Nathan little by little.
I have tried almost every diet out there at one time or another and am currently doing South Beach with my dear hubby. I really like it a lot (especially how much healthier I am eating…and I already thought I was a healthy eater!) and am looking forward to getting to my pre-pregnancy size for the first time in 8 years!
Hey!! Yer purty!!!
What a fabulous smile!
I’m so glad you guys are here!

welcome!
the verdict is still out on my youngest, who has global delays, esp. in communication skills. The dx so far is PDD, but not PDD-NOS. we’ll be figuring more out with that this summer, we hope. ONe day at a time!
but I’m glad to see another “expert” out there
