Since the 5th grade (and puberty) I've had weight problems. I was always the heavier girl....
but it never really seemed to stop me from doing what I wanted.

I was the Varsity Cheerleader, and the Softball player (although that career was shortlived),
the President of the National Honor Society and many other things,
but I was never happy with how I looked. I tried diet after diet in college,
never succeeding. I did loose 40 pounds in college, when my car died,
leaving me to walk everywhere I needed to go...
including the 4 mile trek to work each day. But I soon gained
that back when I realized that since I was skinny, I could
eat anything I wanted. HA. Boy did I learn.
After moving to California, I tried everything I could get my hands on....
I tried every diet pill...Dexatrim, fat burners, Metabolife (which I gained weight on),
Xenadrine (which I lost weight on, but got the shakes and had to stop),
Herbolife (again, lost weight on it, but got tired of drinking shakes and taking
pills..plus it's EXPENSIVE!!). You name it, I probably tried it.

In December, I found myself at home alone, and watching Television.
By this time, my size 14s were tight, and I was uncomfortable.
I watched an infomercial all the way through, unbeleiving what they were selling.
I watched it again, and wrote down the numbers. Eat normal,
healthy food, exercise 18 minutes a day, and LOSE WEIGHT?!
"I can do that!" I told myself....and I DID!!

That day, I ordered Michael Thurmond's Six Week Body MakeOver.
I didn't start it until the first of the year,
knowing I wouldn't be able to resist the Christmas yummies.
And I didn't...let me tell you! I ate heartily
knowing full well that after Christmas and New Years, I'd
be starting a new way of life.
That's exactly what I've done too.
I've never eaten healthier, nor have I
ever been so motivated to drop this extra weight. And I know
I can do it this time..with the
6WBM plan and the help of the folks I've met through this program
I will succeed!!

Through this page, I will take you through the journey I'm on
currently, to lose 50 pounds by June. I started on 1/1/02.
