Hey everybody, I'm Lana. I never introduced my self to this team. I joined a challenge right after I joined SP and I have just mostly stayed there, but I have decided to get to know some other folks. I've had my ups and downs since I started, I am technically in the "SP Class of June 15-21" but I didn't start until the first week of August. As of this morning my scale said I am down 24 pounds and I am so excited. I don't guess I've ever lost this much weight before or stayed with a program this long. I think my success this time has to do with the fact that I am making a life style change instead of going on a diet. Hope to get to know all of you guys.

I will check out more as time goes on. My family is in the midst of a move which will take place by October 1. After we settle in I will have more time to spend online. I am just beginning to reduce my work hours as well. I will go from working 40-60 per week to 4 nights per week. My husband has had chronic pain and not able to work for over 10 years, we have an 11 yo -- needless to say there has been a lot on my shoulders. Very overwhelming. Financially, it's scary, but I can't keep up to this pace. My feet need surgery at some point and I can't keep pounding the floor with them as much as I have been -- I am a Nurse Aide, currently! Actually a "Jill of all Trades"! I have worn many hats and lived many, many places in my life! Okay. Thanks again!
