Hi Everyone

Hi - I'm new and I can't wait to get started! I have at least 100 lbs to lose- this is what happens when 1) You don't try to lose the baby weight (from 8 years ago), 2) you spend 2 years in grad school AND 3) you quit smoking. Recently, I spent about 30 days doing an intense liver flush (lost 11 lbs) and have been going to accupuncture for 3 months to get my arthritis pain (knee) under control so I can exercise again. I am 42 (43 in December) and have basically lacked the motivation to establish and keep going on a weight loss program!

Hi all, I am new to this site as well and looking forward to making new friends and helping to encourage others in their weight loss journey. I am a 43 year (young) mom of 2 great kids(17 & 13) with a wonderful husband(just celebrated 18 years) and I want to lose 60 lbs so i can be around for my family. My current weight is 215lbs and my goal weight is 155lbs. Just want to be healthier, not anorexic. Looking forward to hearing from each of you and would love to be your friend and encourage you.
