Hello everyone!
This is the first month of my "new" lifestyle. In reality it's just a tweaking of an existing lifestyle. I have found that keeping a fit body in your mid 30s is a lot harder then it was in my mid to late 20s (obvious, I know). But with some running, exercising, and a little more control over my diet, I'm hoping to shave 20…

Hello
I just joined this site and hope that it will help guide me to losing weight and getting in shape. I am 48 years old and very overweight. I hurt my back 8 years ago and had to walk with a cane for 8 months which needless to say caused a lot of depression which led me to lay on my couch and eat while I felt sorry for…

Hello :-)
Hi, My name is Beth, I'm a senior in highschool and I just joined the site a week ago. So far I really enjoy it because it's keeping me from snacking all the time. I am more aware of what I'm putting into my body and it's helping me maintain my present weight. I haven't gotten rid of all my bad eating habits, especially…

weight lifter
Hello, I am not quite sure how these things work. I need to lose about 15-20 pounds... and I think this site will help, but the problem is that I am on a track and field team, which requires a lot of weight lifting. I feel like I can never lose weight because we lift so heavily, which is frustrating because I am afraid I…

Hi, another newbie
Hello Great site, well done. But is there any way of searching posts. Also is anyone also using facebook slimming and is it more user friendly? Personally I'm never quite sure who can see what on facebook so find it a bit worrying.

Hello!

Newbie here!
Hi everyone! I've always been a "big girl" and I know that is no excuse for lack of concern for my health. It never really mattered to me (I've always been confident with myself) until I had my daughter almost 2 years ago. When I got pregnant I weighed about 220 lbs. When I delivered I was about 275 lbs. Six weeks post…

Here I am and there go the pounds...
I am new to this and I have never dieted before. I have never had to worry about my weight and since I had my daughter almost 5 years ago, I have battled ever since. Since last year, I have gone from a size 6 (which I didn't really look good at because I am almost 6 feet tall) to a size 14, and I am almost in a 16, as my…

I have been reading the "Lose it for Life" book which emphasizes God's help in the weight loss battle. I am determined to lose weight this time and to change my lifestyle, but I will be honest I am scared…
