It's my first day....GO ME! hehe

**saucystarr** · 11-12-2008, 07:01 PM

Hi there! My name is Starr, I'm 32, I have been married for 2.5 years (together for 5) and have a son who turned 1 on Sept 6th. I live just south of St. Louis, Missouri, and I work full time as an administrative assistant for a wealth advisor.

To make a long story short, I always had a good body...I was very petite and did glamour modeling for years. When I got with my husband I started gaining weight....and gained about 45-50 lbs. YIKES! I'm miserable and ready for a change.

I started on Phentermine blue/clear 30mg this morning. My doctor gave me a Rx but she is monitoring me closely, and I have to visit monthly for checkups.

Here's my stats (again, yikes)
Height: 4'11"
Current Weight: 150
Goal Weight: 115
Ideal Weight: 100 (keep in mind I'm really SHORT!)

So far so good today...the pill gave me tons of energy, and I'm not having any bad side effects. Along with the meds, my mail plan is to:
- exersize more (mostly walking at first)
- drink more water, or at least Crystal Light, instead of Diet Coke
- control my portions
- don't eat unless I'm hungry and stop once I'm satisfied
- Lots of Lean Cuisine type dinners

Here's a few pics of me, my son Xander, and my husband Brian

And if you're bored, here's our family website:

Nice to meet you all! Wish me lots of luck!

Hi, Starr! GIRL!! What a GREAT plan. I did go to your site and it is beautiful; your family is precious. My daughter's best friend's son is named Xander, too. A unique and very dignified name for such a beautiful boy!

I can't stay long tonight, but wanted to welcome you and tell you how glad we are to have you here. One thing that you do very well is communicate, and that is extremely important. More than 50% of folks can lose if they stay accountable to themselves, friends and/or their family~ in person, by writing, journaling, keeping close track of everything you eat and drink.

You can do this, Girl! Do it for that 'you' that you want to see in the mirror, for that hunk of a husband, and for that baby. GET HEALTHY! NOW MOVE IT!! hehehe
Here was what I did:

Hi Starr, love your name. What a beautiful family you have. Your georgeous girlfriend and susan's right, your DH is a hunk and what a handsome son, you have.

You seem very outgoing and a ppl person great qualities and should fit right into this community. You remind me of the ole me.lol I'm not quite as outgoing as I use to be, more like the ole lady in the shoe, with the housefull of kids now.lol

Anyhoo, you should copy all of this and start yourself a journal,I think you would be a great asset to the forum as well as other's on here are.

I checked out your family website and trust me, I don't work, so I do get bored sometimes. Your so organized, I just love all the picture's and your dog is adorable.

If you decide to start a journal go to the the weightloss journal section.

Especially,if you plan on sticking around. Start a new thread ,put a cool title in and start posting.

That way, everyone, can following your progress easier and offer advice,motivation,chat,whatever is needed.

goodluck with everything ! ttyl c.c.
