in Introduce Yourself
I am a 31 year old single mother of two from Jacksonville, Florida. Like most people, I am trying to start my weight loss journey again. I have struggled with weight loss since my last son was born almost 9 years ago. I am trying to lose about 40lbs and would love to have some support and looking for that through these forums and groups. Wishing great success to all! :happy:

    Hi, feel free to add me. I am also here to lose 40 pounds. I have tried all kinds of "diets" but WW worked the best for me. Honestly this is better because it's free and the people are really encouraging. I started last week and so far so good.
    Good luck on your journey :)

    You both can add me too. I want to lose 40lbs...that seems to be our magic number. I would love to lose it by April 1 (Spring Break). But with at soon to be 3 year old some things are hard. I am willing to give it a shot I just need some support and a push everynow and again.

    How's it going for you so far in the new year??

    I'm in the 40lb club too! I've tried other diets and get around 20lbs down before I give up and end up gaining it all back. I like this too because it's free!

    Hey ladies I am entering my 40s and am already finding the struggles. In any case, I found the accountability and support has helped me along the way. I created a private group on Facebook for just that. If any of you are interested. Send me a friend request Kristi Shane Holmes or www.facebook.com/kristijean3 and I can add you.

    Add meee tooo! I will loose 40lbs over the next few months. My goal is slightly over one pound a week making that 5 lbs a month. I want to change my lifestyle not just drop weight. Good luck on your journey!
