Talking I'm new...and into Day 2!
Hello!! I just wanted to introduce myself and my "story". I was on phentermine during the end of 2006 and lost about 15lbs...but I didn't excersise, I ate like crap, and I smoke cigarettes (a LOT of them), not to mention being in a bad marriage and in complete denial of all of my life's problems! I ended up gaining it all back + 10 more, as my marriage got progressively worse and I sank into depression.

Well, today, I am a divorced non-smoker...and have made a commitment to change my life and I mean it! Obviously, I have quit the two worst habits (the marriage - 11 years...but it was not healthy- and smoking!). I have also realized that I truly have an addiction to eating, it is ridiculous. My mother had gastric bypass surgery last year...I will not be in her shoes 25 years from now!

My kids (3 of them, 9, 7 and 4) and I are making a switch to more whole & fresh foods, I joined a gym (I live in the N Midwest and it is too flipping cold/hot to do much outside about half the year!) and my first time at the gym will be tonight.

I am ready. I am ready to stop looking & feeling old. I am ready to feel sexy and confident again! I feel like I am starting my life over at 30, but hey, I have lots of life left to live, I might as well make it great!
