I'm 48 years old. I live in Maine with my husband, Steve. I have 3 children from a previous marriage, a daughter age 20, a son age 21, and my oldest daughter, now 25, is married and lives in upstate NY with her military husband and their 5 year old son.
After losing 90 lbs, and falling into several relationships that were going nowhere upon re-entering the dating scene, I finally met a great guy. On Christmas day (2003), my boyfriend proposed to me in front of my two youngest kids ... we were married on July 31, 2004 in a beautiful outdoor wedding. (Visit the wedding pages for some pictures of the wedding.)
In 2001 I was laid off from my job of 8 years as a Computer Help Desk technician. So then I went back to school for about a year to study computer networking. Currently I'm working in a call center as a customer service rep for one of the leading cell phone providers.
I have to admit that I fell off the lowcarb wagon a couple of years ago. The fall started slow at first ... eating a few things off plan a few days a week, then it became a daily thing. Eventually lowcarb went out the window and so did the weight loss! I gained back 30 lbs of what I had lost. I'm happy to say that today I am back lowcarbing and determined to lose it again! Lowcarb is the only way for me. And it is a lifestyle ... you can't go back to old eating habits and expect to keep the weight off.
A big part of my original success was visiting the LowCarbFriends.com website every day! (see link below). I also enjoy dancing, 4-wheeling, watching movies, and reading/writing.
