Here's Dani.....
 

Hello everyone. My name is Dani and I am 28 turning 29 in a few weeks. I am a teacher from Staten Island, NY. I am currently still in school finishing my M.S. I have been overweight as long as I can remember. I always had problems finding "cool" clothes that fit. I have to say that I was fortunate in the fact that I was never bullied because of my weight. I don't know whether kids were afraid I would sit on them or what. Lol. I am a confident woman and I am not trying to lose weight to look better. I am trying to lose weight to feel better. My maternal grandparents, my mother and my aunt all have diabetes, and that scares the life out of me. Several months ago I lost my aunt to pancreatic cancer, and that was a real eye opener. I am only 28 and I am fearful of disease. I mean I am sure that no one enjoys disease, but the idea of being sick and unhealthy really scares me....So here I am on day one of the Metabolism Miracle. I know someone who has had great success with this....and I am going to be the next one. Day 1 was a little rough. Have a bit of a headache I can't break, and have hunger that can't be satisfied. I suppose this is my body going through carb withdrawl. The next few days will be rough, but I know it will get better after that. It is a pleasure "meeting" you. :carrot: This is going to be me. Well carrots are high in carbs and I can't have them right now, but you guys know what I mean. Good Luck everyone!:D Dani

Welcome, don't worry the headaches will go away just stay strong we can do this!

Thank you. At the risk of sounding like Obama...Yes We Can! Lol

I had no idea that carrots are high in carbs (saved for my notes)

I started today as well (worked out with some podcast music)

I have a long *weigh* to go in a short time to get there,

But every second of this journey is worth it to me.

My goal is no longer : Looking good, or feeling great, but rather my goal is a better me.

Hey Jonah,

I am not sure if they are high per say, but on the plan I am doing, I am not allowed to have them or corn at this stage. A lot of other veggies are "free" veggies so I don't think I will miss them too much. Love, love, love the play on words. Very clever. Podcasts are pretty groovy. I need to get moving and motivated! Good for you that you have seemed to do both already! WoooHoooo. I am sure that you are great the way you are, but always strive to be better. Good luck!
Dani
