My first post

Hi there,

Here is some info about me:
My name is April.

I'm 30.

I have been married for 9 years and our first and only child is 13 months old now. We finally conceived after trying for 2 years. He's our JOY!

I work full time as a customer service rep and I've been here for 7 years.

I have some stats posted but I'll be updating everything on Monday (11-9-09) when I start Atkins. On Oct. 26th I started at 296 and lost 4.5 lbs before I started struggling. That usually happens pretty quickly as much as that sucks! This time it was about that time of the month so it was a bad time for me anyway. That doesn't usually bother me but this month it did,,,,of course that is just an excuse really.

I've always thought about starting a blog but I never have. I found this site yesterday and it is AWESOME. Then I found the blog section and thought it was pretty cool. I had thought about blogging on FB but it would depress me to work on a blog with no comments and to feel like no one is reading it. I feel ignored on FB enough as it is so this is so much better.

I have dieted MANY times. I've been successful on Weight Watchers before but my last GOOD run was in 2003. Since then I've lost and gained and lost and gained and lost and gained.

My goal is to start Atkins on Monday along with using my elliptical trainer. Depending on how my son sleeps I'm planning on getting up at 5-5:30 am to exercise and get my breakfast ready. No boiled eggs for me Monday,,,I need some scrambled eggs or an omelet! I don't have the Atkins book so just holler at me if you read that I'm eating something that I'm not supposed to!

I definitely welcome your comments and encouragement! Also,,,as I tell my friends,,,I'm no grammar major and my punctuation skills STINK so keep that in mind when reading.

See you Monday!!
