Hi everyone, I'm so glad to have found this place
My name is Barbie, and I'm a 28-year-old SAHM to two boys - Ashton, 2 1/2 and Camden, 4 months. My husband Eric and I have been married for 8 years, and we'll celebrate our 13th year together this summer.
I've been overweight most of my life, but I really "blossomed" during the second half of high school. I'm currently 243 at 5'6 and I'm really afraid for my health at this point. I've been on just about every diet out there, and recently my inlaws told us that they started the South Beach program. I had bought the
Good Carbs, Good Fats guide months ago, but it had seemed too limiting at the time so it went on the bookshelf to collect dust
When my mother-in-law told me that she was down 11 pounds and her husband was down 17 in their first 11 days I decided with gusto to pull that book off the shelf and rethink things, and I'm so glad I did! I'm on my third day of Phase 1, and although I'm still having cravings, I do feel like I can do this.
Anyhow, that's me in a nutshell. I look forward to getting to know some of you and being able to come here for support in the upcoming weeks!
