I am a newbie here and I am really determined to get this weight off. I feel like I have been on this roller coaster for a very long time and I am more than ready to get off. I am looking for an accountability buddy to report to and maybe check in with on a daily basis. I know that I do better when I have somebody to check in with. One thing I need work on is knowing that this isn't a race and I need to take my time and get the weight off in a safe and healthy way.

I have a trip planned to Aruba in October and I would love to be close to my goal by then. I know realistically I may not reach it by then, but just being somewhat close will be a victory!

I hope to hear from you all soon!

Heather

Oh and as you can see from my name I am trying to get my butt back into running!!!!

    Hi Heather! Nice to meet you. I would be happy to help keep you accountable. I, myself, run and it became a passion of mine (somewhat of an addiction perhaps). My advice is that YOU CAN TOTALLY do this! Just keep good logs, stay committed to your goals and determinations and above all else: BALANCE, BALANCE, BALANCE!
    Good luck on your journey and let me know if I can be of any help along the way!

    Hi Heather,

    I'm Keiren. Count me in! I'm a newbie, too. On board for about 2 weeks. I love being held accountable. I used to think I could only do it through WW but this site has proven me wrong. The food database is great and includes almost everything I can think of. I lost 40 on WW 2 years ago but gained back 10. I would like to lose those 10lb and then another 5. I also am training for a 4 mile run and some sprint triathlons this summer.

    Aruba looks beautiful! I'm sure you will be bikini ready by October!

    I'm new too! I'm excited to get going as well. I'd love to be a check-in pal. I need someone too! I've never done anything like this and I'm a little out of my element. Your trip sounds amazing! I need something like that for motivation... :smile:
