Good Afternoon everyone,
I am looking forward to being part of your group on our weight loss journey. My name is Sharmelle but you may call me Shar though. I am a 37 years old who is looking for support and encouragement. I am struggling to keep and get my weight down right now. I have gain ten pounds in three or six months. I am trying to lose eighty nine more pounds but it is a struggle right now. I do see a dietitian every so often due to I am a diabetic and that is one of the offers that my diabetes nurse gives me to do before my next appointment with her and I always do it to receive some help there too. I'd love to make some new friend from here too.
I do not have Internet at my home right now so I cannot be here every day like I use to, But I will check in when I can ok. But when I am spending time with family I have Internet access and I will be here. But just to let you know I will have the Internet until April or May 2014 for personal reasons, so I will be here as much as I can until than ok.
God's Blessings, Sharmelle

Good Evening Alli,
Thank you for the warm welcome! I have added you as a friend
That is great you have lost 106 lbs. in a year from changing your lifestyle and food intake. I have lost 70 lbs. in about 4 years. I am really struggling to keep and get this weight off.
Thank you for the kind words!

Hi Shar! I'd love to be on this journey with you! I have been with MFP since April 2013 and have lost 68lbs. so far but have about 100+ lbs. to go. My heaviest I've been was 375lbs. but my first weigh in with MFP was 324. I am 58 and will turn 59 in April. I have lost 100lbs. 2 times before and gained it back plus, then due to an illness lost 75lbs. after I recovered I started put the weight back on. That's when I found out about MFP from a friends post on FB. Thank God! This is a great place to be. And with people who will encourage, inspire, walk with us, etc. If you want to friend me, we can walk this journey together and encourage each other.0

Good Morning WWDA4655,
Thank you for your friendship request! I am glad we can be friends! I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you; I tried to do it yesterday and when I clicked post reply it told me I was signed out. So I was mad and did not start my reply again until today ok.
I have been here since April 2012 and I am losing and gaining; but the weight I gained this last time may be muscle weight that I am gaining lol.
That is great you found out about MFP through a friend on FB. I am glad to see you here!
I hope to talk to you again soon.

Hi Sharmelle and welcome to the group!
You made a wise choice including the Lord on your journey.
I would like to encourage you by joining a game I created.
If you go under "Women of Faith" you will see a topic called "Weight Loss Game."
Here's how it works:
On Sunday, June 1st, I am going to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack (beverages don't count).
It is my goal to keep every one of those meals as close as I can to 300 calories (without going over).
Whoever gets the closest to 1,200 calories (without going over in ANY category), is the winner and gets to choose the next challenge.
Anyone want to play?
On June 2nd, go to the "Weight Loss Game" page and post your result!
Have fun and God bless!!!0 -
Good Afternoon Debbie,
Thank you! At this time I am unable to participate in you game but I would love to start in October/November 2014. At this time I am at dad's using his Internet until 3 pm CDT this afternoon. But in October/November I should have Internet at my home ok. Thank you for the offer on the game and I look forward to playing when I come back. I hope to be back on the Internet come October/November.
God's Blessings, Sharmelle0
