in Introduce Yourself
Got engaged, bought a house, gained most of my weight back and now I'm here.

Settled into the house, got another dog that I HAVE to walk darling or he drives me insane, and locked down this eating better thing. Now all I need is some new buddies to support and yell at me when I try to be lazy.

70 pounds to lose. 70. That sounds scary.

Be my buddy!

    Hey, added you, doll! I have about 55lbs to lose and that seems daunting too! But I'm sure if we stick to it we can do it! ????

    I know that feeling. I've lost 59 pounds, and I have another 61 pounds to lose. The task ahead seems huge, but it's worth it, as is anything worth having.

    You'll get there!

    Hi,
    I have 70 pounds to lose too and just started here today. I had lost from 215 to 159 a few years ago and my weight has crept back up to 199. Starting again fresh this week!

    I am restarting. I must lose 80 pounds. Seems like a huge mountain to cross. Nursing school in the end got the best of me. Trying to eat my stress away. I want to change so I am not another statistic.

    Woo. So many buddies
    My breaking point was trying on wedding dresses and not fitting into 3/4 of the store. The joys of being from a small place!

    Hi all! I am here to try to rein in my crazy habits. Habits that have allowed me to gain back 40 of the 60 pounds I lost on WW 2 years ago. It is either lose, or run around naked this winter, because all my winter clothes are a size 14. Wanna get back there. I will commit to logging on MFP, wearing my Fitbit, and using a treadmill and Jillian Michaels DVD's....again. Who's with me? Add away!
