Good Morning - just found this forum and can't wait to get to know all of you! Now that I have 2 small children, I am determined to get it off. I have to do it not just for me, but for them. I have lost weight before, but always gain it back. I've been successful on weight watchers, but the results are so slow I always give up. I've also lost on low carb diets but can't stand eating that way for long. I've recently taken quite a plunge - one I said I'd never do but I've decided it's worth a try. The week of Thanksgiving, I started a "weight program" with a local doctor. I get shots of B12 mixed with a fat burner and a prescription for an appetite suppressant. I am only able to take half of the pill or otherwise it makes me jittery and I can't sleep. He also gave us a list of foods to eat. 2 of my co-workers are doing this program as well. As of my last weigh in I had lost 13 pounds. I'm sure I gained a few back over the Christmas holidays because I took vacation from the pills as well as the allowed foods! LOL! I'm back on track today, however, and feel determined. I started at 256, was 243 at last weigh in and have a goal of 160ish. I have no desire to be super skinny.... just healthy and not so fat! = ) I am 5'7" so I think 160 or so will be fine for me. I would like to be down into onederland by my birthday, which is in May, and close to my goal before the summer is over. I have a one year old and a 3 year old. Both boys. They are the light of my life. My husband and I have been married since 1999. I'm 37 years old. I am a Christian and I love my church. I am a Social Worker and work at a nursing home full-time. I love to scrapbook but don't find time to do it much anymore. I live in Southeast Texas and am a Dallas Cowboys fan! I post on BabyCenter and have a myspace page. If you're on myspace, send me a friend ad at www.myspace.com/denisefontenot Well, that's me in a nutshell. Would love to find a buddy at about the same weight or with maybe some lifestyle similarities! Email me at denise.fontenot@sbcglobal.net
