My name is Sue, married 18 yrs, mom to 2 teenagers, want to lose 50lbs. I am a day surgery nurse. I quit smoking onNovember 1, 2007. I figured it was time for a change, a positive change.

I grew up thin, and had a super metabolism. Friends always commented on how much I ate, but never gained an ounce. I remember one time my dad accusing me of being anorexic! I was like "Hey, have you seen what I eat at Taco Bell?!?!?"

Well, after two kids, I kept on about 20 extra pounds, but still felt and looked good. In 2000, I went through a serious clinical depression, and due to not eating at all lost alot of weight, but felt like crap.

Enter lexapro...ahhhh, I felt like me again!!!(Just weaned myself off the med last November.)
BUT...70lbs later...I don't feel good physically anymore. I know my eating habits stink, and I have not worked out enough. Also, nursing school did not help (study, eat, study, eat, sleep, eat, study, etc. ) and lexapro has messed up my metabolism I belive....plus I will be 41 soon.

So here I am, I really want to change my lifestyle. I am looking forward to meeting people here that are in the same boat as me to encourage and get encouragement from.
