in Introduce Yourself
Hi:happy:
Posting from Westland mi. I am a 40, married mom of 3 great kids:)
I found this site because of a group I joined called Buddy up. The group started with Buddy Shue who
was on season 13 of The biggest loser. He didn't win the show. But he started a program to help people lose weight.
I just started the program Saturday. So we shall see how well the program works..:heart:

    Hi Evette!

    Welcome. This is a great site. The best way to benefit from it is to log on every day. (You get recognition for not missing a day), make some new friends and offer support and encouragement and by doing so you will get motivated yourself and certainly get support and encouragement from others. Basically you get what you give. Totally track your food. It is so enlightening to see what you are consuming each day.

    I am not familiar with the program but I am curious and will check it out. Sounds fun. I am working with a nutritionist and she has me eating 3 meals and 3 good snacks every day. Since I started that I have been losing and I am excited about it.

    Friend me if you want. Best of luck to you!!

    Hi :) I think the registration is close for the Buddy Up program. I'll check. Just started it last Saturday. It's at the Friendship center on Newburgh rd Saturdays morning. The first part is the weigh in. The 2nd part is the nutrional part of it. We haven't got to that too much yet. The last part of it is exercise. The program is for 12 weeks.Somehow at the end of it they seem to think we'll be able to run a 5k. Umm walk maybe. LOL And like on the biggest loser whoever loses the biggest percentage of weight loss wins something I think. The goal this week was just to exercise 3 times this week. :) So after i drop my daughter off at school I will try to do exercise. :)

    I find this site very motivating. Logging your food really tends to keep you more honest. And if you reach a plateau, you can look back at what you have been eating to tweek it a bit to get started losing again. Good luck with your journey. I am sure it is difficult with 3 children.

    I am so jealous!! I would much rather look at warm beaches than this never ending snow we have gotten this year!
