I'm Really Excited

[crazyfox]

I'm an almost 48 year old 140 some pound woman in a (now) 193 body. I put my goal at 150 because I'd be happy with that now! lol

I'm really not sure when I started to gain weight, because it has just been a very gradual thing - at a rate of about 2lbs per year. At one time I actually had the opposite problem - I was too thin. Well I defeated that problem! LOL This is my first serious attempt at weight loss. I have high blood pressure and am pre-diabetic, and I really want to be around to see my children grow up, so I am SERIOUS about letting the thin me out again!

Been reading this forum for the past 3 hours now - and I am so thrilled to have found it! Looking forward to hangin' out with you all!

Hey Karen - well I got through day one and am about to have my tuna and veggies for lunch.
I hear you about the weight creeping on. I was just thinking the other day, that my 18 year old daughter has never ever seen me at a healthy weight (thin!) Wow, that is sad.
Thank goodness today is another day - keep on losing!

Yes atkinsgal, I am reading the bible ...

Congrats on Day 1 Raina! My children find it hard to believe that I was ever thin, but I'm determined to show them! I am now on Day 7 and down a total of 7 lbs! woo hoo
