I just wanted to introduce myself!!

[Sugar*Booger]

Hello everyone, my name is Krista. It's my third day on Phen, and I've really enjoyed reading the many posts on this site. They are so encouraging and educational.

I am 29 years young, and happily married to my husband of almost 3 years. =) He's amazing and so supportive of me. When we started dating about 5 years ago, I weighed 140 at 5'3", and wore a size 6-8. During the course of our courtship, I started to eat a little more, exercised a little less, and the big bomb ~ I got a desk job. Well....after the desk job, it was all down hill from there. Fast forward to five years later and I'm 200.5 pounds, and wearing a size 14. Ugh. I've struggled w/ my weight for most of my life, whether I've been really fit & thin, or overweight. I'm seeing an Endocrinologist and we're trying to get my weight down. He's worried that if I don't, I may develop Diabetes soon. Plus, we want to have babies in a couple of years, and I want to be a HEALTHY MOMMY!

Anyway, I just wanted to give you a little info on myself. I would enjoy any advice or encouragement that you have to offer, and I am going to make a commitment to stay involved on the boards!

Thanks everyone!

Krista

Hey sugar, your story sounds a lot like mine.
Havent seen you post more then once, but hope to see you again soon.
Tell me what you are doing as far as exercise and eating. Make sure to get in a lot of water. I try to drink 96 ounces each day and work out 1 hour or more each day and rest 1 day.

cute name! Girl I know I got a few marriage pounds packed on also! But don't you fret honey if you stay dedicated to yourself you will be able to get it off. If you need anything just hollar!

Thank you so much for the responses and support! All of you. It means so much.

Lunachic ~ For exercise, I am doing 30 minutes on my elliptical machine (5 days a week). For my menu, I'm basically trying to stick to a lowfat, Weight Watchers type menu.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions!

Desk jobs are the worst. I have a desk job and work 10-12 hour days and I have gained so much weight because of it. Phen has given me the energy to work out before work and keep the snacking down big time. I love it!!!!
