Hi! I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I have been lurking around the WISH boards for a couple of days now, and have decided that it was time to join.
Here's my story:
I am 25 years old and have a wonderful husband and 3 great kids(dd7, ds4, and dd almost 1). I joined Curves about 2 months ago to help me lose some of those unwanted lbs. but I ened up using the exercise as an excuse to induldge in sweets( my biggest weakness). So instead of losing weight, I actually gained 10 lbs in the past 2 months. I just had my weigh-in day on Tuesday and when the scale was reading 10 lbs under my weight when I was 9 months pregnant I was furious with myself. I committed myself right then and there that i was going to change my life. So now realizing that Curves isn't enough I went out and bought the SBD book. Today is Day 1!!! I am so excited!! I have never felt this way about myself before and have never been able to stick with my plan before but this time is different. This time I came to the right place. The DIS boards!!!
So here's my goal:
My starting weight is 189lbs.
I would like to be 145lbs. by January for our trip.
So i guess I want to lose 44lbs.
Gosh that feels so good to be able to get that off my chest. I haven't told anyone what I weigh(except for the girl at Curves that weighs and measures me). My husband is very supportive of anything that I do but I am a little embarassed to tell him that I weigh 25 lbs more that he does. I am going to have him take a picture of me today so I have a before and after shot.
Thank you for listening to me blab and blab(and blab...)
It's so nice to have a place to come and do that.
Well, here's to new beginnings.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life!!!

- But since starting Atkins in late March I have lost 33lbs. But its the support and knowing others are like me trying so hard everyday to get healthy that has kept me on plan! I really couldn't do this without the WISH board!
