I posted on the main board, but I belong here. My name is lisa, mother of two boys, divorced three years. I actually doubled my weight in an unhappy marriage. 150 to 327 was my top weight, that i knew. Currently at 247 and on day 13 of induction, I started at 255. Until I read some posts on a clean induction, I was using the adkins bars, etc. I gained, but now am back going good. Getting the book tonight after work and will read it and learn more about the woe. I'm excited to be here. :joy and look forward to meeting you and learning from you. The stats and photos tell it all, you guys are great.
