About Me

I'm a born again Christian, 36 years old, married with 2 wonderful kids. I love all kinds of music and I love to sing. I'm currently a substitute teaching assistant. I recently became certified as a teaching assistant so I'm hoping to get a permanent job very soon. I'm a very blessed woman. The only thing that's really holding me back is my weight, and now I'm finally working on it.

Why I'm here

All my life I've never been very health-conscious. I never liked fruits or veggies very much, and I'd eat pasta and chocolate instead. Luckily I was never very heavy until adulthood. Even after having 6 surgeries, 4 of them major, in the late 90's, I still ate whatever I wanted and barely exercised. It's really caught up with me in the last 10 years as I've gained over 120 lbs. A few months ago I started getting really bad indigestion whenever I ate something I shouldn't, such as fried or greasy things. Then on 7/1 my kids and I went to Burger King and as usual, I ended up hurting later on. Finally my brain woke up, and I prayed, "God, when am I going to stop doing this to myself? Please help me." I researched several different diet plans and decided that SF was the cheapest and most convenient plan for me, while still being sensible and healthy. I've also bought a few of the "Eat This, Not That" books.

It's been 8 weeks now and I've lost 19 lbs. so far. I'm so glad I'm finally doing this, and I feel so much better already. I look forward to keeping it up, and I thank God for guiding me on this journey.

Hi Nancy - Just dropping by to say 'hello' and see how you are doing. This is such a tough process we are all going through and I couldn't do it without all of you here on the SF website. I feel healthier everyday and am so thankful that this plan is working for all of us. Hope all is good with you and hope to see a post from you soon! Take care, Jodie

I just am coming back from a five pound gain, in a little over a week. I needed to know I was not alone today. I get jealous seeing all these lost pounds, then there is me with added pounds. Quitting is not an option! We can do this! Now drink that water, buy some more shakes if needed and take you a nice lil stroll if u can fit it in today! We got some weight to lose! peace Coni
