Introduction

My name is Lynne and I am 42 years old. I am Married to Dennis. He is normal weight and has a Mach 5 fast metabolism. He eats what he wants and most of which is Junk! No veggies and nothing good for you. He lives for Chili, Pizza, Cookies, and anything processed. Makes me sick! Literally!  If I just look at ice cream I am ill.  He suffers from digestive issues and pancreatic problems. Last spring he had Pancreatitis. With all of his issues, I am the one that is 100+ pounds over weight. Not fair!!  Since I was 22 I have been battling my weight. I have tried all the fad diets and even had Gastric Bypass 12 years ago only to fail myself again. I even tried to find a Doctor to redo the surgery only to finally look at myself and realize that I am the problem. I have NEVER changed my eating habits!! I would have sworn that I did not eat that much but when I began to look at my caloric intake I was shocked!! I don't eat ice cream but I can put away high calorie carbs and I love French Fries. What an eye opener when you start to pay attention to what goes into your mouth. 
  I have started 100 diets a year. If I had a dollar for every time I said this time I am going to do it. I was the one who watches "The Biggest Loser" eating chips and candy crying along with every contestant thinking that "if only I could go on the show" I even downloaded the application a time or two. 18 months ago after spending my whole life in Fresno California my husband and I picked up and moved to Fort Smith Arkansas. I have never been so depressed in my whole life! What a culture shock. I was away from everything familiar and all my family and friends. I felt exposed and out of my comfort zone! I was all alone with my thoughts and my I really began to look at myself and as I got to know people around me I decided that it was time to do this. I was not getting any younger. Unlike Dennis, my lab work was good, so fa,r but how long could I keep this up at over 300 pounds? I was scared. In December 2010 I went to the Doctor and started my Journey. I have never been so motivated in my whole life! I have been using caloriecount.com (even have the app on my iPhone) I track every morsel that goes in my mouth. 5 weeks ago I started Running! Seriously!! On March 12 I will Run in my very first 5k. My first goal. Today is Feb 6 2011 and I have lost 35.2 Pounds
