I am married to my best friend of 27 years. I am a full time stepmom to his 8 year old son.

I have struggled with weight my whole life and was diagnosed as obese before my first birthday.

This is not my first go around losing 100+ pounds. I was one of ediets early success stories and actually made an infomercial for them on HSN. I have also appeared locally in a CURVES for Women commercial. All of that was 10 years ago. It has taken me that long to put the weight all back on.

There are many good reasons to want to lose this weight. My two biggest are health and better sex.

Goals:

Size 22 done
Size 20 done
Size 18 done
Size 16
Size 14
Size 12
Size 10


10% weight loss (29.6 lbs) by 8/07/11 (done by 7/15/11)
20% weight loss (59.5 lbs) by 10/07/11

Wear orange dress on my 1 year wedding anniversay. (7/31/11 done)

I have been doing low carb for a year now and while I haven't lost all I need to, I have kept what I am losing off. I no longer consider myself on a diet. I consider myself refined carb intollerant. The remainder of my weight will come off in time. I've got time. :)
