I want that 1950's tiny waist and curvy everywhere else type of body :)

I am new here and started Phen the first week of May 2009. So far I love it! I have noticed my taste buds are more dull so food isn't as exciting. I get full easy and have more energy.

My weight journey:
I feel that I have always been overweight. I was adopted from South America and my body type was more big boned than the girls that I grew up around. In HS I lost a lot of weight and was at 120lbs. Then moved out and ate out all the time. I got to 150lbs. I did the Atkins diet super strict and got down to 130lbs. Then met my future husband ate out a lot again got up to 175lbs. We got married, had a baby and I was 195lb for a couple years after that. I did Weight Watchers which I really like and got down to 185lbs. I am in a more stressful job and got to 215lbs!! On my little 5'1 frame! Right now I am 200lbs. I can't wait to get back into the 100's! Soon!!

Reasons for going on Phen was because I need to get healthy. I am borderline to getting diabetes. I also am anemic because I am a newly vegetarian and haven't been eating correctly.

I want to have another baby but need to get my body in shape.
I also want to feel good in my skin. I can't wait for the day!!

A little about me.
I work in makeup, I love helping people and have been thinking about going to school to be a nurse.

I love love love music. The Cure, Tori Amos, Morrissey, New Order, Bloc Party, The Sounds, The Faint, The Hives, Swing etc....

Reality shows :o I am addicted and have a problem

I love to hang out with my 4 yr old son, who I <3 dearly

Anything else just ask!

I am looking forward to speaking with all of you, Every post I have read so far is so motivational and can't wait til I have the 50lb weight loss!

Welcome RetroPinup!:D
I also love being curvy;) I have no desire(and probably no chance!)of being anything but curvy.
Good luck on your journey to feeling good in your skin! You can do this:D

P.S.-I am SO a reality TV junkie too!! Can't get enough of them:rolleyes:

Welcome to the boards, you seem to have great motivation, which is a great thing to have on this journey..I too am very curvy and I like it that way..even if I cant always find clothes that fit. I have been on phen since last year in July and have had a lot of success with phen. Good luck!
