Hi All
My name is Elizabeth, I am 30 years old and am from North Alabama. I have been married 2 1/2 yrs to J, and have 2 stepgirls ages 6 & 4, and a son 9 months. Both J & I are overweight, and are on our way to losing it ! I am insulin resistant, have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and am just WAY overweight.

I would LOVE to make several Buddies via email, or here !! I have also created a new Thread in the Support forum called The Diet Journey of 2006 ~ 3FC Style !!! Come join in the fun !!!

I stand at 5'3 (on a good day) and started out at 274 on January 1st, the start to the new, improved, healthier, sexier ME !!!

Well one of my BIGGEST resolutions was to lose weight in 2006. Plus my husband gave me a kick butt incentive !!

He told me that if I would lose 75% of my goal weight by November ~ We would go on a 7 day cruise of my choice!! How could I not be willing even more for that WOOHOO !!!

So here's some of what I am doing:

1. Giving up sugar (which I've already done, thank the lord for Splenda)

2. Giving up caffeine & only drinking one soda a day (if that)

3. Exercising at least 30 mins at day (work in progress)

4. Allowing myself only 1250-1300 calories a day ! (currently doing)

WHY do I want to do this ?

1. So I can be around to see my son, my step-daughters and future children grow up and have families.

2. To be more healthy !

3. To look and FEEL sexy

And of course there are a billion more I could put !!

So that's what I am doing. . . I am really TRYING hard and so far I've lost 11 lbs since January 1st!!

I would love to be here for anyone, and look forward to being a part of the 3FC Community !!!

Let's share in the journey. . .
