Hi there...My name is Rebecca. I'm 35 and a single mommy to an amazing little boy. I'm looking for additional support during my new journey. I am going to lose weight once and for all this time. I've completely changed my entire lifestyle and I love my new lifestyle. I eat organic now for everything, the odd thing i don't - but i would say 98% of the time. I've made drastic changes to how I used to eat - and I love my new eating lifestyle - eating to live instead of living to eat.
I also actually work out - but i don't do it consistently and that's part of the problem....but I walk/run on the treadmill a few times a week, do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and I've started a spinning class (spin and scult), and I've walked a 5K a few times this summer (while trying to run some it it). Not that I do these things all the time, but I do a fwe a week at least.

so far (and it's taken too long) I've lost 19 lbs (not sure why this thing says it' s only 15, maybe I didn't input my weight from the beginning)....and I'm happy with that so far but I have so much more to go!! I want to lose another 32 for sure to get to goal #1 and than lost another 40 after that to get to goal #2....I can do it, but I just need some support along the way.....

Thanks

    So im not the average over weight girl. I am only 22 years old and around 133 pounds, and my goal weight is 125. I was never this weight before so that's what is getting to me. I don't fit into any of my jeans and i don't feel comfortable in anything. This site is amazing and i am using it to my full advantage to lose weight. And I have found that this is the only thing that is helping me =) Anyway i just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to all of the other people using this sit other than me.

    hi everyone - thanks for the encouragement!!! I really needed that!! I've been pretty bummed - one of my problems is that I weigh myself every morning (i know - a HUGE no no) ...so when I don't see the progress (like i would each week) i get down - I have to stop that LOL
    I do use my Wii and the Biggest Loser game - and weigh in once a week on that (on elimination days - and yes i've been eliminated lol) -

    I'm really glad I came to the community section on here! :) thanks ladies!
