Hi! This is my second go at this. I did really great last Spring and lost about 10lbs. Then summer came and I got lost in having a great time which meant lots of eating and far to much drinking. I'm back where I started and am not happy about that. I didn't take full advantage of this site with the blogs and making friends so I'm hoping that motivation will make the difference this time.

I would love to have a good support group of people in a similar situation to me. I'm a 31 yr old female who is single and loves outdoor activities. Right now I'm totally stoked for skiing!. My biggest downfall is drinking too much alcohol and I LOVE cheese :o). I generally eat healthy... just too much. I'm recently getting into cooking more and love the Cooking Light magazine.

Am excited to meet some other great people and do this journey together.

    I am a 30 year old female, working on my weight loss goals again, for probably the 10th time in my life :O) I am a teacher, so summer and breaks are the worst time for me. I like to drink too, and I love cheese! ( I grew up in Wisconsin, cheese is my life!). I lost 10 pounds last spring while I was training for a half marathon, but I have put it all back on since then. I still run about 10-15 miles a week, hike occasionally and I have a road bike. I am hoping to shed 10, plus an extra 5 for a friends wedding this June, and so I can run 2 half marathons this spring!

    I am a 37 yr old mom of 2 who needs to lose about 25lbs. I would love to be support for you, just ask that you do the same. I have tried since the beginning of this year to lose it, and have had very little success. Maybe this time will be the time for me. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck to you!

    Hi I'm a 32 year old mom of 1 and I would like to lose about 30 lbs as well. I have struggled with my weight my whole life but in the past 10 years have been eating healthy (just too much, like you). And although I don't drink much, I do have a mean sweet tooth. I am very active, go to the gym about 4 times a week and walk a lot with my dogs. Feel free to add me as your friend!

    Thanks everyone!!!! It's so nice to know I'm not alone in this. I had a great workout today and feel AWESOME. I'm on holiday in Australia at the moment and can't wait to get home and start a proper routine.
