I'm a 33 year old female living in NJ. I am engaged to be married July 31, 2007 and am dreading having to put on a wedding dress at my current size. I have battled with my weight for many years. I had a pretty great success with Atkins a couple of years ago....The weight came off quickly and I felt fantastic. But, after meeting the man I am going to marry, I guess I got lazy and content and the pounds started piling back on. We both tried the Atkins diet about this time last year and had no success. We then tried the 3 hour diet, but due to his/my work schedules, etc. it was too difficult to maintain. So here we are, both content and happy slobs looking to lose some weight before our wedding. Hope the Sonoma diet can help retrain my way of cooking and living.
