Hi Everyone

Hi All. My name is Seana and like many of you, I have battled with my weight for most of my 48 years. I can remember 2 times in my life when I was healthy & fit...that saddens me! Something had to change or I would end up with heart disease like my Dad, so I am taking the plunge and having the lap band procedure done. It's not an "easy fix" for me, instead it was a well thought out decision...almost a last hope thing. I know the lap band is just a tool for weight loss and that I have to change my relationship with food, I feel ready for it. I am so happy I found this site! I now have an easy way to keep track of everything! (I have visited many websites like this, myfitnesspal is by far the best!). I am on the Adkins diet for 2 weeks for pre-surgery and am supposed to keep my carbs below 20. I had no idea Kale and brussel sprouts were loaded with carbs till I found this site!!!! I will post pictures as soon as I am brave enough to stand in front of a camera! Good luck to everyone!
