First Day of the 17 Day Diet challenge, but this is my 12th Day on the Dukann Diet, and I need to change it up.  I have lost 9 pounds, but it is so hard when everyone in my family are stick figures.  The toughest thing for me right now is we are stationed overseas in Naples Italy.  The food who is amazing.  I have been here for 4 years and we are starting to plan a move back to California that I am not excited about.  I love it here and really am not ready to leave.  Losing weight is something I need to do.....NOW.  I know the reason I can not work out well is because of all the extra weight I am carrying.  My foot has been hurting since August 1 and the doctors can not find anything......I know its my weight.  I hope by getting weight off quickly to start it will help me relieve some of my joints so I can start doing cardio again.  I need help, and others who are on the same path....
