in Introduce Yourself
Hello all!

I am in the process of dropping some weight...college and just everyday life has packed on the pounds--I definitely packed on more than the "freshmen 15" and I am here to chunk all those pounds away...please feel free to add me!

Oh yes, I am from down south so we all know how southern cooking is :( haha

    Bama girl here :)

    Um, I've been out of nursing school for almost two years, and I'm still trying to loose the "more than freshman 15"...long process! I gained like 60lbs during college...so not cute. I'm getting there though!

    Feel free to add me & good luck reaching your goals!

    Texas here, after having my first baby I went back down to pre- baby weight like bam, I was also in the military... As soon as I got out of the Army the weight started showing up and I have gone up and down for years,. Then after baby #2 I just stayed at high 180's got up to 200 with him and never gotten below 170 after having him,. Now after baby #3, my most def last baby, I'm motivated and ready to get my sexy back. My husband is currently stationed in South Korea and I plan to get back down to 140 by the time he comes home for good next Oct, but drop a lot before his surprise visit in Nov. I have already lost 24 Pounds since I had my daughter 8 weeks ago ... I'm ready to get back to being the me that's inside and showing my babies what a healthy lifestyle is like!!

    Southern bred but living in the north. Just started my weight loss and going strong! Southern cooking doesn't help that much :) I had some baby weight from my 10 week pregnancy that ended last March. My goal is to lose my baby chub and bring the sexy back that I had a couple years ago!

    Hi All,

    I'm a recent transplant to the Myrtle Beach area from CT - but I'm a VA native...I'm looking for people to get together and work out or just get out for a simple walk if that's all the time we can squeeze out in a day - I feel any exercise is better than sitting on the couch - feel free to add me and I look forward to making some new friends and setting new fitness goals :)

    I'm from south Louisiana, y'all think traditional southern food is hard to resist? Throw in the cajun/creole foods on top of all the southern goodness and MAN! So good!! So hard to control one's self !
    I'm hoping to lose at least 35 more pounds. Good Luck! hang in there, fight through the plateaus, is my best advice... that I am trying real hard to apply to myself!
