    I'm in for the add. And the beer! A friend of mine (Austrian by birth and new American citizen!) is the brew master at Red Oak brewery. Unfortunately, it is only 4 miles away.

    haha that's all right. You don't have to like beer to be my friend.

    Can we be friends? I have a deal for you - you ship me your ommegang beer and I'll drink the calories for you. Nuff said.

    I am such a fan of craft beers! :) I'm in the Midwest..so Breckenridge and Free State are a few of my fave breweries. I've managed to work one or two into my week, and I have an open diary. Feel free to add me!

    Hello Ashley, my name is Myrna and I am also on this journey. I would suggest you buy the book The Shift. It is amazing! It really helped me and I refer to one thought that I learned there, everyday. That is :"The time will pass anyway". So, I might as well be doing something successful with that time. Because, in a year, if I just lose 1 - 2 pounds each week, I will be at my goal! The time will pass anyway....
    I am sure it is hard to be in a new area and to not know anyone would make a person feel so lonely. I get it! I am sure you will meet your 'new group' of friends in time. Can you get out and walk on trails or parks and be safe? Going to public places will help you meet new people and you may find a new best friend.
    Hang in there girl! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

    Hi! My name is Jenna, I was in your position a couple of months ago. My husband and I moved from our home state of MN to MI. I was unemployed, no friends, no family. I also have a weakness for craft beers...Grand Rapids, MI is known as Beer City USA. Can't throw a rock without hitting a brewery. I can give up a lot, but never beer...never. I'll send you a friend request, I think we could be good motivators!

    I am new as well! We have a lot in Common. I LOVE beer and my husband is my partner in crime. I have Celiac so I have to stick to gluten free beer now. Talk about sticker shock calorie wise.

    Hi! I'm back after months of not using this site - it has really worked for me in the past because it helped me really see the "math" behind what I eat and how active I am. When I got the math going in the right direction, my habits changed and I lost 40 pounds. Then like you - life happened - I moved, started taking college courses at night, kids got busier so meals got more chaotic - and I gained 30 pounds back over a year and a half! Now I'm back, raring to go. I hope we can be friends!

    Wow, sounds like a great place for you to open a gym. I'm sure there are other people in that situation. I was a lot like your husband. My wife was trying to be good with her choices, my son is picky, and I'll eat just about anything. I was stuck between our finances and my wife trying to eat healthier. My wife said to me one day that I needed to eat better because she didn't want to be a widow raising our son alone. I'm sure you feel the same way. I think that in the end, your health is up to you. I think he'll come around. He can't be all bad, HE"S IRISH!

I'm at 123 pounds 23 more to go ;)

    Cheers
