FAV. EXERCISE - Jazzercise and chasing the kids around
FAV. NO-NO FOODS - Gee, Since I started SB, I don't crave the junk all that much any more. So, I guess, Annie's Mac'n'cheese in excess would be a fav no-no. And the Valrhona chocolate in excess.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - Doc recommended it because I had elevated blood sugar. It's so much easier than I thought it would be. At first when we saw what we would have to give up, I thought, No way. But now it's the only way.

FAV. NO-NO FOODS - mashed potatoes, any carbs really
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - I wanted to get sugar out of my life to see if it affects my attitude and emotional well being. Also, since I got married I gained 15 -20 lbs and I'd like to get back to my old weight. I don't feel comfortable in a bathing suit.
ANYTHING ELSE? - I know there are plenty of ppl wish they could weigh 133, but for me, it is too much. My pictures I have posted may not show it, but if I put a picture of myself in a bathing suit up here...you'd see what I mean!! I'm looking forward to trying this WOE. I'm nervous and scared but I am also at the right place and ready to try it.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER - Geoff, boyfriend of a little over a year
KIDS - none
PETS - My 70-pound humane society husky/shephard/boxer/???? mix. 3.5 years old
OCCUPATION - Career counselor
DATE YOU STARTED SB - Feb. 1999
STARTING WEIGHT - 245
WEIGHT WHEN JOINING THIS BOARD - 163 or so?
GOAL WEIGHT - 130-140? I actually just want to be comfortably in a size 8-10. I'm not sure what weight my body will be at that point.
HEIGHT - 5'6"
FAV. EXERCISE - elliptical trainer, body trek, and weight lifting at the gym. I LOVE hiking in the mountains with my dog on the weekends. It's great mental health time as well as very physical.
FAV. NO-NO FOODS - potato anything. Baked potatoes, fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, garlic potatoes, baby red potatoes, hash browns, potato chips. But my biggest weakness of all is a good microbrewed beer ~ preferably a stout or a porter. With some potato chips.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in Feb. 99. High insulin levels in the body cause ovarian cysts to form, which are very painful when they rupture. My ob/gyn recommended Sugarbusters as a way to keep my insulin levels down and prevent diabetes, which is a 40% possibility with PCOS.
ANYTHING ELSE? - I made down to 146 in December of 1999 and maintained for 4 months. Then, high GI foods crept back into my diet. Then I started exercising less frequently. Then sugar crept back into my diet. Then, winter came and my pants didn't fit me anymore! After a summer of wearing comfortable sundresses, I couldn't hide it any longer. I recommitted to this way of life in January and am back to being an exercise addict!
