Newbie starting BFL tomorrow (7-30-06)

[Guest guest]

I'm excited! This is such a sensible plan, and something I can

actually stick with and carry out! I've been lurking this evening

and looking at all the pictures and I'm in awe at the women on

here! I just want to say congrats to everyone that has posted

pictures, you all have certainly inspired me!

I'm 26 years old, 5'6'' tall and weigh in around 230lbs, probably

weigh more, but haven't weighed myself in a while. Will do tomorrow

before I head off to the gym. I printed off the first week shopping

list and went shopping and bought almost everything on there, and

just so excited that I'll actually get to eat!

I've tried tons of plans before, Weight Watchers (got too involved,

and I become very food obessed), South Beach diet (blood sugar got

way to low because they cut out carbs totally), among others with

similar reactions.

My fiance has doen BFL before and lost lots of weight and has been

explaining it all too me, especially the exercise portion, so I'm

armed with tons of knowledge. Actually he has gained all and a lot

more back, but he's not into doing it again. I think it's the

exercise portion because he's telling me he'll eat the BFL way but

unsure about exercise. But I'm ready to committ and follow through

with this.

Okay I'm gonna stop gushing, but just wanted to introduce myself and

hopefully meet lots of people! I can't wait to start my 12 weeks!
