I'm 39 years old and happily married to my best friend. Between us we have 7 children and 6 3/4 grandchildren. My husband has 5 and I have 2, the 6 grandkids are from his fist 2 daughters and the 3/4 is from my oldest and should be introducing himslef to us any day now. I have 3 birds that I just love, 2 cockatiels and a sun conure. I enjoy riding our Harley...(I'm the passenger, I a bit of a sissy) We ussually ride with our friends on the weekends. I just started up a travel business which I think I am going to really love.
I started having difficulty with my weight about 4 years ago, it started to slowly creep on and I didn't really notice it until I took an old pair of shorts and held them up to a pair I wear today and wow what a reality check. Since then I have tried: the 6 week body make over, south beach, weight watchers, the biggest loser and who knows waht else. I have failed at each one of them. It's a mind set I know, but I felt very deprived on these diets. My dr recommended the atkins. He stated that it might be to restrictive, but I have not found that to be the case so far, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything....well except french fries :)
