in Introduce Yourself
Hello. My name is Cindy. I'm 43, married and I have 4 children from age 23 down to 8. I need to ideally lose 90 pounds. I did it once before a few years ago and lost over 100 pounds within 9 months and was even featured in Prevention Magazine. I let some severe life stresses get to me and I fell back into my old habits of stress eating and stopped exercising. Once the weight started creeping back on then it just snow balled. I'm ready to do this once and for all and last time I did it alone and I know having some weight loss and fitness friends along the way will really help me. Anyone interested? Just friend request me if you are.

    You sound so determined, and I know you will lose the weight again, and just pray that you can keep it off. I have done a similar thing to myself, I lost about 73 pounds and now I have allowed 17 pounds to creep back, but like you, I am determined to lose those unwanted pounds. So to you I say, let's encourage each other and be strong.

    Hello, I'm Lissette a single mother of 3... ages 18, 16, 14. I'm looking to lose at least 30 lbs to start and let it go from there, I'm open to any advice or help and support. It's great to hear how you have done it once before. I believe in you and know that it will happen again for you. Can I ask where you live???

    I'm new to the community as well. I was doing it on my own for a few months, but think being accountable to others will be a great help in the whole scope of things.
