Married & Mother of 3 teen girls, and 2 little AKK puppies :) I join this site in January 2012 to loose about 15 pounds... gained during the last years. I have to motivate myself to exercise more...the only exercise I do is walk my dogs every day but winter is too cold(below -10 celcius, we dont go out)So let's try this! I am starting with phase 1 of the South Beach Diet because it worked well for me once before and the fast weight loss at the beginning is encouraging ;)
