So, Hi... I am new to the site. Just learning my way around! Looking to loose more than 1/2 of me and I know that it will be slow going so I am hanging on for the long slow ride... (probaly should walk beside the ride if it's slow enough to help drop some pounds!) I am have a full time job and am a full time mom of a awesom 8yr old girl. It's time that I drop some weight so I can go play with her and not be out of breath... But I am also trying to loose weight so I can walk into a store and wear what is cute, not what I have to because nothing else fits! I know that you feel my pain... It's not easy and I am really hoping that this site will help with my struggle! Thanks for reading! And good luck on your goals! Delana

    Hi, I'm fairly new to the site as well. Been on many diets to no avail. Really going to give it my best this time (still trying to add excercise though) LOL! Foodwise, I think I'm on the right track. Look's like I have at least 70lbs to lose. I'm at 233 down from 249 when I started thinking you'd better do something. I'm trying to get to 175lbs. Don't know if I should set the ladder so high at this point(?) But, Oh well! Here we go! Good luck to you!
