  • Hi!!!

    Hello Everyone! My name is Melissa and I am from/around Detroit Michigan and I am here to get some of this darn weight off! I just got married last year also to the best man in the universe 1/26/07!

    In the last 2 years I hav gained about 60lbs.. ahhh... I've always been a little chubby, but i've never NEVER been this big before! In the summer my husband and I are planning on trying to add an addition to the family.. we want to start trying to conceive, but I want to lose some weight first so I can be healthier!!

    My goal is to get down to 230! I know it's still high, but I gotta start somewhere, and me being 5'10" I don't look half bad at 230.. and I remember feeling pretty good too.... so thats my first goal!

    I've tried atkins before and got down to like 220.. it was awsome, so.. now I just have to keep the food interesting and to not eat the same things all the time!

    I would love to hear some sucess stories to keep me motivated!!

                  Welcome & congratulations on getting back on track and dedicating yourself to your health so you can be a healthier happier mom when the time comes.

                  I found this great low carb recipe site someone linked to while wandering around the forums here. They have lots of recipes & the Induction-friendly ones are marked with an asterisk so they're really easy to notice. Check it out to keep from getting bored with your menu - I know it's helping me.

                  Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes

                  Good luck on your road to health!
