Hello.
I just found the ADBB a couple days ago and have posted (and am happy to say, have had answered) a couple of questions. I just found the introduction forum so I'll go ahead and introduce myself. Sorry I am doing this backwards!
My name is Shireen (nickname SheShe); I am a 31 year old female from the DC Metro Area (Maryland side). I am a first grade teacher and I love it.
I have had a major weight problem since I was born-REALLY! I was born at 5.25 KG (that is around 12 lbs!)
Since childhood, I have been on and off EVERY plan on this planet. Nothing worked for me--it always came back with 20% extra!
I hit rock bottom in June 2003 when I reached 262 on a 5'9" frame. I turned to ANA and lasted until March 2004. I actually lost almost 27 lbs and got down to 235. But I was facing seriouse emotional, family and personal problems and dieting was just too much. So I could not keep it up and I quit.
Over the next three months I gained back some but not all of the weight. I went back up to 242 lbs. On June 19,2004 I was able to get my life in order and pay attention to my health. I went back to ANA--seriousely this time. It has been nine months and I am still on induction.
I have 100 lbs to go and I have not broken a single day. I choose to stay on induction because weight loss for me is still very difficult. In nine months I only lost 37 lbs but I do feel better. Of course I still need "to get it right", i.e. enough water, exercise, etc. but I am hanging in there.
Well, that is all about me. Nice "meeting" all of you.
