Greetings Ya'll!
HI! My name is Amy and (shame on me) was one of the "doubters" for the longest time. Well after seeing one of my co-workers lose a large amount of weight and really feel great my curiosity got the best of me. I have had a weight problem for about 8 years now. When I met my now husband 8 1/2 years ago I was young, healthy and SKINNY! That soon all changed. Around the same time I quit smoking, started a real job and had to cook for this man. Food soon became an emotion for me. The times we were happiest was at family feasts which, you southerners can back me on this, was all the time. So I began to equate happy with good rich heavy food. Long story short, I gained 65 lbs in less than 3 years. He gained more. We never really stopped eating just kept saying we should. It really hit me the day I went to the DR. to get a pre-conception exam. My dr. told me flat out to loose weight now or having a baby would be imposible. I was heart broken. Now, 2 1/2 years later, after rounds of tests and fertility drugs, I am convinced my weight is keping me from being a mother. So I decided it was time to take things in my own hands. After a month on induction (I have a long way to go) I feel great!
I am even seeing a difference in my fertility signs. Now I am ready to change the world! (or at least thats how I feel) Gosh, I'm sorry this is so long!

I am so excited about finally knowing what has kept my body this way for so long. I feel like I am out of the dark now. 
I never thought that no sugar or french fries (my former fav) would make me feel this GOOD! I hope I am able to keep this energy the whole way thru. And now that I have found this board, when I feel a bit down or off track, I know ya'll will set me straight!
