My name is Sandy. I'm married to a wonderful man and between us we have 5 children and 3 grandchildren. I'm 51 years old and just retired in September after 24 years of working at the same job. I'm a photographer and I'm working on starting my own business. I'd lost 50 lbs in 2009 doing weight watchers and last Xmas was down to 192 pounds. Surgery, Stress and pressures at work got to me and I gained all the weight back plus some, finding myself needing to lose about 60 lbs. I started losing weight as soon as I retired without even having to work at it. Stress does horrible things to a persons' health.
My husbands' health issues are pressing him to lose weight as well and he does best on Atkins so I decided to join him. I think it's easier on both of us to be doing the same plan. We started induction on 11/8 and are both doing great. We both need to move more and after induction we will start a "fitness plan" to get us motivated. We are committed to our weight loss and the glowing good health that comes with it. Wish us luck!
