Woohoo! A Bush supporter!

Hi there Irene :) Congrats on making the changes necessarily to get healthy and lose weight. It sounds like you just need some tweeking and ideas. You said you are doing low carb....are you following a plan like South Beach or Atkins? Have you talked to your doc? You need to eat your meals each day. Remember this isnt about starving. You could just be not getting in enough food/calories if your eating only veggies and not full meals. Can you give us an idea of what your journal or daily menu looks like?

Hang in there! We want to help you reach your goals so when your hubbie comes home, he comes home to a new you. What a nice reward for him after serving our country! Woot!

Welcome to the board!!!!

It sounds like you have really good goals. I'm excited to have you post here, the women are nice and supportive, I think you'll fit right in. I am with you on eating fewer carbs, I'm not a low-carber but I know that I do eat too many of them.

Welcome to the boards, Irene! You sound like you have realistic goals. I know you'll achieve them! I commend your husband for going over to Iraq and fighting for our country. I really appreciate the sacrifices that you and all military families are making in order to ensure our freedoms.

Again, welcome!
