Hi all!

I'm Karen, I am 29 and living in New London CT. I started dieting a while ago and lost a good bit of weight, 30lbs, actually although I let myself put about 15 of it back on and I'm noiw more determined than ever to reach my goal. My darling husband just bought me the exercise bike I have been drooling over and I am soo excited to start putting it to use! I joined here hoping to meet other people with similar goals and find/provide support. Every so often I just want a pint of Ben & Jerry's and without someone to get through it with, my best option for fighting the craving has been to stare at an old photo from when I was approximately my goal weight.

    Hi! Great place for support!! I've been doing it for a week and I love it! Reminds me of Facebook for weight loss!
  • Hi Karen, I am Patricia, I am trying hard to just lose. I just want to feel better and stronger. I also need the support. I try hard every day and succeed some days and fail others. I would like more successes than failures. I think I can do this with a good suppot team.

    Hello, I'm Karen too. Joined yesterday. My addiction is cookies - they are so small how can they bad for me? Muhahahaha. I just got a new Schwinn stationary bike too - but my weenie dog already chewed thru the power cord - so I must order a new one... in the meantime, it still pedals quite fast, just with no real tension. So I will keep using it daily until that cord comes.
