in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I am just getting started on this site and could use some friends & support buddies. I will be logging on every day. I do not care who wants to help encourage me along the way or who wants some encouragement from me but if you want to know more specifics about me:
I have over 100 pounds to shed
I am 24
I have a shoulder injury, and am very out of shape
I just gave up soda and it's a hard adjustment :laugh:

Hope to get some new buddies soon! Thanks!

    :flowerforyou: Congratulations on giving up the soda: that's HUGE. I had gastric bypass to lose 100 pounds 7 years ago. Gained back about 40 just because I got lazy about how/what I was eating. So now I'm eating low carb with a support group through my church. Have lost 12 lbs in 3 months. How are you doing now?

    I am doing well, for the most part. Excited to start this journey (again) and for finding such a supportive place. Thanks for the congrats! It is hardest for me when I go to restaurants, I automatically tell them to being me a soda. Whoops. That's great that your church is supporting you. Congrats on your loss so far! Keep up the good work! :-)

    Hi, I am just getting started(again) and can use some friends. After speaking to a nutritionist, I decided to try and change my eating habits. During my last physical, I was told to begin taking medication, due to my weight and other things. I was shocked when I got on the scale. I don't like the idea of taking medicine for things I have control over. Now that I have registered on this web site, I am hoping to get some friends that will help me thru out this journey, so count me in. :sad: :

    Congrats - you have done the hardest step...taking the first one.

    I am down over 70 pounds as of 2 years ago and decided to lose 10 more (6 to go)...I log daily.

    My wifey just stated weight watchers (yay!) so now it is soooo much easier to make a healthy meal. We both cook and have loads of yummy low cal, tasty recipes. Add me if you want.

    I gave up soda and haven't had one since Jan 10th so it can be done. At first I had alot of cravings to drink something sweet, but I usually ate a piece of fruit instead or had a cup of tea with honey. Now I have no cravings for it at all. :)
