Renée Stiehl started Shape's weight-loss program in the January 2006 issue. Since she is the mother of an active two-year-old who works full-time in the marketing department of a credit union, Renée wasn't sure how she would find the time to eat right, exercise and get rid of her post-pregnancy pounds that wouldn't budge. Learn more about her life and her yearlong Weight-Loss Diary here. Every month, there will be new additions to this page, along with interactive components that will inspire you to lose weight just like Renée.

i make sure to drink as much water as i can every day and to start my day off right, i do aerobics in the morning to give me full energy for my job. i'm a newly married woman for about five years and i believe you can achieve anything you put your mind to both physically and mentally

At night I watch T.V. and I would love to sample all things sweet and salty in the kitchen. So I brush my teeth and slap on some white strips. The treatment is for 30 min. and then no eating after for best results. It works like a charm!
