Hello! My name is Erin! I am a 23 y/o female that lives in a subarb of Dallas, Texas. I am originally from the coast of North Carolina. My husband was in the Coast Guard when I met him in NC, and we moved back to his home state here in Texas after he completed his assignment with the USCG.

We have a wonderful daughter named Cheyenne, who recently turned 3. She's a very bright little girl for her age.

I graduated college in August of last year, for which I got hired for a Dermatologist, as a nurse during the day, the day I graduated! I also work for Simon Property group at night. Which is the world's largest mall company. I work as an Guest Service /Marketing Rep. for a outside mall called Firewheel Town Center. I have been working there for almost a 2 years now.

As far as my goal in my journey with weight loss, I started at wanting to loose about 60-70 pounds! I started my new diet on June 4, 2007. I weighed in right at about 203-204lbs. As of June 10, 2007 I was down to 194lbs. TEN POUNDS in ONE WEEK! I know, NOT HEALTHY now that I found this site. I was not taking in the correct calorie count, and was not excersising. I am taking Phentermine once a day, which my Dr. prescribed for me to take for 3 months, only! I have only noticed side affects such as dry mouth, and headaches. Its VERY tolerable though.

I plan to start posting lots of threads, and replying to a lot as well. I am very motivated to loose this weight to feel better about myself, and hopefully reduce the risk of any health problems in the future.
