ANYTHING ELSE? - I have found this woe very easy to follow. I do not feel deprived of anything.
SIGNIFICANCE OF YOUR USER NAME - When I was a baby my sister couldn't call me by my name, it came out ra and my middle name was lynne so everyone called me ralynne.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER - Peter, husband of 16 long and wonderful (depending on my mood) years
KIDS - Benjamin-16years-fairly decent teenager. Been through drug experimentation, dyed hair, Satanic music, and general negative mood all last year. Now he is into Saving Arrows a non-violent antiabortion group and a born again Christian. Must say he dresses like he got his clothes out of a trash can but he is oh so pleasant to live with these days. (Thought I'd never hear "I love you mom again" Oh yes, he's a vegetarian. Thank you Lord he's not a Vegan. I wouldn't know what to feed him. We are struggling with him to improve his grades. Wound up the school year with 2 failing grades.
Patrick-11years old-going into middle school(6th). Has the mouth to prove it. A sensitive and caring person. Likes music (thank God no heavy metal) and plays the Viola. Loves body surfing at the beach and gets into family fun night. Really addicted to Playstation too.
William-8 years old-3rd grade. Really likable and happy kid. Fun to be around. Lives to be a pain to his older brother Patrick though. Loves Playstation, boogy boards, and swimming.
As you can see surrounded with testoserone 24/7.

STARTING WEIGHT - 185 lbs.

HEIGHT - 5'3"
FAV. EXERCISE - Spinning, then running.
FAV. NO-NO FOODS - Cold Tequiza in the summer time (beer). Margaritas. No I'm not an alcoholic. Popcorn and milk chocolate and homemade apple pie. Ice cream
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - It made sense to me. I had tried working out intensely for a full year and had lost 18 lbs. At the end I wasn't losing. I have eaten sweets daily since childhood and this seems the only answer to why I wasn't losing.
ANYTHING ELSE? - The total turn around in my 16 year old son has encouraged me to return to church on a regular basis. Working on that. Trying to reach contentment in my current circumstances--working on that now too. I believe that a lot of overweight people fall into the "When this......then that...." pit. Me especially. I want to turn that around personally. Oh and I love womens basketball. Started watching them to see how fit women looked like so I could get an idea of what my body could look like. I was told once at the gym to visualize how I would look with less weight. I seriously couldn't. Well, then I became hooked.
PICTURE LINKS they'll come when I work up the nerve and get my husband to help me scan them in.

STARTING WEIGHT - 175
WEIGHT WHEN JOINING THIS BOARD - 161
GOAL WEIGHT - 135 ish- we'll see, maybe less
HEIGHT - 5'3 1/2" (that half is very important)
FAV. EXERCISE - Running (slowly, usually uphill) with my dog, weightlifting, and tennis, but that's a game, not exercise!
FAV. NO-NO FOODS - Anything I can put in my mouth? I never met a food I didn't like but I sure miss really crusty breads with loads of butter, and salty, buttery popcorn. and ice cream. and tira misu. and...why did I go here?
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - My dad and step-mom have been doing it for about a year- they didn't need to lose much, but their general health has improved so much I thought I'd try. Past "diets" have usually meant starvation and exercising 3-4 hours a day- works for a while, but then the weight comes PILING back on the minute I start to eat again. SB seems like something I can live with. Also, I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy and would REALLY like to avoid becoming diabetic!!
ANYTHING ELSE? - I feel great, can't believe I can actually eat and still lose weight.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - I met a lady at the park who I had not seen in a while. She sang the praises of sugar busters,had lost 55 lbs and went from a size 16 to a size 4!!!!!!!!!!!! What an inspiration!
ANYTHING ELSE? - I am tired of being over weight and mostly,tired of feeling bad all the time. It is amazing how great I feel from just cutting out sugar!

SIGNIFICANCE OF YOUR USER NAME - girlfriend's kids couldn't say my full name properly, so that's what they called me. It's stuck as a nickname within our families
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SUGAR BUSTERS? - My doc thinks I may have PCOS and I read that SB may help.
ANYTHING ELSE? - I've tried Richard Simmons, counting WW points. Just wasn't me. I've been doing SB for almost 5 days now and have found that it has been very simple for me to fit in with our way of eating. We didn't really eat that much extra sugar, but we did eat a lot of "bad" carbs. It's been very easy to find substitutes. I can't believe it. I think I'll stick with it if it's easy to do.
Am getting "used" to using my TM!!!!! I do enjoy yardwork.
Wife, Mother, Goddess!
FOODS PIZZA
