Red face Hello ALL!!!

Hey Everyone! I thought I would go ahead and Introduce myself before I start posting.

My name is Jenny!

I was introduced to this Diet (and Forum) from a Friend of mine.

Basically I have tried the South Beach, lost 12 lbs. in a week, but the cost of that Diet was OUTRAGEOUS!

I also tried Weight Watchers, but I just don't have the time right now to carry a book with me every where I go to add up my Points throughout the Day!

Not that I'm saying ANY of those Diets are BAD...just aren't for ME!

I guess you could say I started "dieting" at the New Year for a Fresh Start, but if you look at my Signature, it wasn't the "New Year" that motivated me to loose weight!
My DH and I decided to start trying for Baby # 3 EARLY This Summer!!!

I DO NOT wanna get pregnant at the weight I am at now, nor is that healthy!

So my 1st Goal is to loose 25 lbs., and I have lost 6 lbs. of that so far! That will put me at 145 lbs.

My final Goal is to be 130 lbs. or less which would be a Heathly Weight for my Height! I am 5'4".

ANYWAYS...I am excited I have found such a GREAT Support Group! I know I will have LOTS of Questions along the way!

You have hit on a fantastic weight loss tool here Jenny, ADBB (Atkins Diet Bulletin Board) was one of the key reasons I lost weight. I am sure it will be for you too!

Yes, I DO enjoy exercising! Very much! It's the "getting the kids' dressed and out the door" with ME that I dread most!
I would be very interested in these Challenges you're talking about!

Thanks for your kind words.
And regards your car, I dont think we have the Mitsubishi Eclipse over here (in England) which I suppose is why I didnt recognise it.
