I am a 51 yr old married Registered Nurse. I have no children, but enjoy my husband's adult children and his grandchildren. I work in a private residential substance abuse treatment program in south Florida. You would be correct in assuming I have a very stressful job, but one that I enjoy. I have always been overweight and out of shape. I remember starting my first diet in 7th grade. I have never been a very active person. I tended to be more of a klutz growing up; had no interests in sports, and was the girl in phys. ed. class that usually got picked last for the volleyball or softball teams. I made the effort 4 years ago to lose weight and get in shape. I used a popular low carb diet and hired a personal trainer at a local gym. In a year, I was 55 lbs lighter, and on my way to getting into better shape. Then a series of (all minor) work-related injuries and medical problems required me to leave the more physically demanding aspects of Intensive Care Nursing, and zapped my momentum and motivation. I reverted to my old eating habits and couchpotato ways, and regained 50 lbs! With Slim in 6 I am looking for that spark to ignite my passion and motivation to achieve my goal of being in the best shape of my life.
