Hi! I am Margaret, and totally new to this site. I live in Philadelphia, PA (=
I am a 35 year old girl with 3 thin Sisters. I love them to death, and I am not jealous of them but definitely envy their adorable clothes. I am tired of being the 'heavy' Sister. I am currently 5'7 and weighed myself for the first time in years the other day. I was shocked to see the number 230 on my scale. I knew I had gained weight but I swear I was in denial. Seeing that number woke me up . I knew I had to do something, I am tired of being sad, and feeling bad about myself. I know I can't live like this anymore!
I am a Secretary and spend most of my day sitting. My plan is to follow Weight Watchers and add exercise into my daily routine, even if it is taking a 30 minute walk on my lunch break. I am also in search of a Gym buddy, because I know I will not go myself. One of the problems I have is not eating enough. I would go all day without eating and then eat one big meal. I am trying to eat several times a day now. Another is eating this big meal and then sitting on my butt all night and watching TV or playing around on the computer.
I have been on this diet for 3 days, and so far so good. I am looking for other people for support and also to motivate.
I plan to weigh myself once a week on Monday.
My goal weight is 150lbs.
Please add me, I love people and making friends -- the more the merrier!

Sounds like we have alot in common. I am 35 too and have a desk job. I weighed myself this week and was shocked. The time has come where this bad cycle has to stop and good positive changes need to be made. I am new to this site after hearing about it on Mama Laughlin Fit Camp facebook group. www.mamalaughlin.com has helped inspire me. My plan is to eat the 1200 calories a day and try to get in an hour a day workout, 6 days a week. I know its not going to be easy but I am up for the challenge and ready to make the change.
I have about 93 pounds to lose to reach my goal, and I also started the Couch to 5 K Program yesterday.0 -
I am going to add you. I am 36. I am trying to lose 60-70 pounds. My wieght just crept up on me. It was a shock to me as well.0

Thanks for adding me I think joining this site has been the best thing I could ever do for myself.
I walked for a half hour at lunch today and was proud of myself, not for the walking but because IT WAS SO HOT. haha. I can't wait for the fall. Today I am going to walk after work to meet my Mom which is about 10 of what they call "city blocks" because there are 2 little streets between every 'block' Either way, I have been in such a better mood today and I feel hopeful and motivated.
I plan to log in everyday and be here for you guys. If I figure out something that tastes awesome, I'll post up the recipe! My Mom has this really amazing recipe for this dessert for weight watchers that I have to find. its low cal/fat and is really yummy.0 -
Way to go on your walk! I hear you on the heat. My boys and I walk to the bus stop every morning, it's a mile away, and I jog/run it back home. Even at 7:20 A.M It's soo hot here. I figure living in South Texas if I wait until it cools down, I'll never get moving.0

Nice to meet you. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want. I also have the thin sibling "bane" if you will. My sister and brother are both smaller than me. I am 32 and a teacher. I move a lot at school but I am so exhausted when I get home that I just sit. Best of luck to you. I know you can do it if you set your mind to it.0

You can definitely do this! I'm new to this site as well and have recently decided no more excuses, I WILL regularly fit exercise into my day. Feel free to add me.0
