Hello

CLAUDEM

Hi everyone,

My name is Claudette. I was introduced to this site by someone on sparkpeople.com. I just visited my doctor today. I need to work very hard at losing weight. I have about 150 lbs. to lose, so it will be a long battle. I recognize that it isn't a short-term fix. It's a lifestyle change and a lifelong committment. I'm excited about living a healthier life, a longer life, and a fuller life.

But I cannot do this alone. I wonder if any of you would help me. Your challenges and successes are what I need to push me along another day. One day at a time will be my motto. If you see yourself able to cheer me on, please write. I would love to meet you in this virtual world.

Anxiously waiting,

Claudette :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Hi,

You've been here since February? How have you done so far? I am hoping to lose 1-2 lbs. a week. I have to be out of town for the next few days for job training. It happens that my sister lives close to Sudbury, so she is picking me up. I'm going to attend my first Zumba class. She started out at a size 20 and is now a 14. I'm so proud of her.

Hi Chris,

Congratulations on your 17 lb. weight loss. That's terrific! What program are you following? Are you just making sure to stay within your allotted calorie count?

Hi Prissa,

Thanks for adding me as a friend. It's nice to know I am not alone on this long journey. I saw my doctor today, and I told him of my weight loss plan including this website. He's happy to see I'm getting proactive about my health. You joined this month? How are you doing?
