Hello, Everyone!
My name is Aileen and I live in beautiful North Carolina. I actually joined this site a while ago but have been flip flopping around, trying to find a program that suits me, all the while lying to myself about when I'm going to get started on a program.
Well, I was at work today and our computer tech came in. He looks awesome! He has lost 30 pounds on the SBD that his doctor put him on to lower his cholesterol. What he told me about the SBD has sold me! I'm going to try to get my hands on a copy of the book as soon as possible and am planning to read it cover to cover. I'm hoping to officially get started in the next few weeks. Until then, I plan to scour the message boards and read everything I can to make sure that I have a full understanding of the program. This is mostly because I have the attention span of a grapefruit. I have the tendency to grab the ball and run with it, then when I look back, everyone else is still in the huddle.
I am going to be 39 years old next month. I want to embrace this, but am struggling with it. I have three of the most awesome kids in the world, and I'm tired of feeling embarrassed when I meet their classmates. I weigh roughly 247 pounds. How on earth did I do this to myself? I would like to weigh 145 pounds.
My daughter, Olivia, is 10 and in 5th grade. My son, Adam, is a junior in high school and a tuba player in the marching band. My son, John, is 18 and is currently in boot camp for the Marines. He graduates on October 22 and I would love to be down a few pounds before I go to see him on his big day.
I look forward to getting to know you; cheering you on when you are having a great day, or cheering you up when your day isn't so great.
Hugs
Aileen
