    Ooh! Me! I'm almost 30, mom of 4, in Central Texas, and need to lose 20#.

    Had a bit of a set back in April, and am finally ready to get this done!! It's already summer here! Ok, so maybe not *actually*, but we're already in the 80's and have had a few 90's.

    I started the 30 day Slimdown yesterday, so, very excited to see what that brings, and definitely need the support/motivation to push through!

    Hey there. I'd love to join the crew. I have 20 pounds to lose and would welcome the camaraderie. Please feel free to friend me.
    I live in the nation's capital - the US, that is. I have two teenage girls and work full time. Life is busy. Help with a focus would be great!

    Do we post it all here, or are you panning to start a group, smaio777?

    And yes, MyChocolateDiet is right. I'm sure we'll all stick to losing at a moderate deficit in a healthy manner. :drinker:

    I have been seeing this statement on the boards lately and have decided to highlight it any time I come across it. Just because.

    Lose 30 lbs and you get a cookie? Lose 30 lbs or I'll kick your *kitten*? Lose 30 lbs already.
    More original ideas on their way.

    Not great with names but here's a few - 'Lean Up for Summer' (summer being relative, of course), Lean Times, Getting to Lean, Getting Lean for Summer', Canadians and friends getting ready for summer :), Summer Fun Over 40 (I think most of us would fall in that category from my brief/imperfect review).

    That's all I got for now. Will keep thinking while I clean the house.

    Well, summer's been here for almost 2 months now, where I live. So I have little to nothing to do with the summer aspect of it. :laugh:
