Hello everyone! I'm a 37 year old mother of 2...and I'm still carrying around baby fat from my baby who's 11!!! OH, I can't use that excuse anymore? Well ok...LOL, Bottom line is, I need to lose some of this junk I'm carrying around! Tonight was the conclusion to a 21 day no meat, no bread, no dairy fast and I'm down 9.5 lbs! Woo Hooooo...my goal is to NOT gain any of it back and keep losing as I reincorporate into my diet meats, breads, etc. Short-term, I'd like to lose 20 lbs...possibly 30 for the long term. I'm hoping to be inspired by you all and to be a inspiration in return.

    Hi there I'm new from IL as well. I am a senior in college trying to get off that freshmen fifteen, the sophomore ten, and the junior twenty...I think I took the freshmen 15 to a whole new level unfortunately... I just started today and my first step is just to get my eating habits into perspective I was surprised I only went over by 1 Cal today!!! I will start doing the whole excersising thing here as soon as I have integrated my diet change. One step at a time is my opinion and changing my diet is step one!

    Hello,
    I am from IL. as well. I am a mother of two beautiful girls. I love taking care of my family, but it's time to put me in the equation.
    I joined last Monday and I'm already down 4lbs. Most of all I feel great about myself and the future.
    Good Luck to all of you!
