41 y/o R.N. 2 kids, 7 dogs, 3 cats, knitter with emotional eating issues. I've been following SB since Feb. and I'm amazed at how good I feel and how much weight I've lost. In the past I've tried BFL (lost about 20#, but gave up after 11 weeks), starving, medications, Curves and the F-it diet (that's how I got to 260+). In late March I started walking 6 days a week for more than a mile a day. Because I drive most of the day for my job, taking food to work is a challenge. I'm starting to feel changes related to aging and obesity and I'm ready to get rid of the fat that protects me from life and living.
