in Introduce Yourself
Hi,
I am really hoping to meet some awesome friends, and lose some weight in the process. I am 34 years old, female with about 50 pounds to lose. I would like to add some ladies that have about the same amount of weight or more to lose.
I live on the east coast, and I am hoping to start this journey now, so I can enjoy spring next year without worrying if my shirt hides the extra pounds, or if I look ok in those family pictures. You know there is always one person trying to take everyone's pic at a family bbq or Easter egg hunt. LOL
Hope to talk with you soon. Take care!

    I'm looking to lose about 80 pounds. I have lost 33 since I had my son in June, but my goal weight is 140. I'm starting Focus T25 tomorrow and Body Beast with my husband on Saturday. I got good deals on both workouts and shakeology, which is supposed to help with weight loss too..

    I live in Arkansas and I'm a full-time college Senior, mom, wife, and I work full-time. :) Feel free do add me :D

    Hi. I'm new to the forum and online weight-loss friendships but I need a little kick in the butt sometimes and this could really help. I am 10 pounds down on my 89 pound journey. :)

    Hello, from Minnesota! I changed my eating habits dramatically and started to use the treadmill in April/May. I started at 358 lbs. I have now lost 59 lbs. My goal is to get down to 155 lbs. Almost 15 yrs ago, I lost a lot of weight and I remember feeling so good. Never was as big as I got to this year though. I know I'm on the right track. Eating better (with help of myfitnesspal.com), drinking water and starting an exercise plan. What I'm bummed about now is I have been having some now pretty severe knee pain and so no treadmill. Had an MRI done last week, so hope to know soon what the diagnosis and next steps are. I will have to change my eating (right now at 1450 cal/day) if I plan to continue to lose w/out the treadmill. For 2 weeks now, I've been at 299 lbs.

    Congrats on your journey thus far. I'm sure you are feeling better every week. And, course we all know, if you feel better, you look better :-)

    Hope to hear from you. Keep going! Don't give up!

    Did you ever watch the show RUBY? She's going to have a show on the OWN network.......first episode is Sep 1st. I can't wait! I know she has struggled, but is relentless with her goals also.

    I wish you well ~ Susan

    You forgot to mention it but with the combined life of College Senior, Wife, Mother and full-time work, you are a really busy lady. That does impress me, my wife is much the same but different activities.

    Hi there! I'm Lisa and I live in Sioux Falls, SD. I have been using this site for about one month now. It works well for me because I can still eat real food. I have lost 13 ibs so far, but I need to loose 50 more. I have to say that it works if you are completely honest when recording what you eat. Good luck and hope we talk again and support each other. :smile: Feel free to add me.

    Hi, I am on this journey to change my life with great determination one day at a time. I have sacrificed so much of time for my son. Now it's my turn. I need to lose 55lbs. I home schooled him from first thru 8th grade. Well, he earned a high school scholarship and doing well and thriving. I need to have more self-control when it comes to his snacks. Having those snacks in the house is such a challenge for me. I'm determined to stay self-motivated. Wish me LUCK
