    Hi! I am a 49 year old female. I am 5'2" and currently 139# working my way SLOWLY down to 135. I started this Jan 1st and have stuck with it EVERY SINGLE DAY! It's really really hard at first and takes alot of trial and error to find what works. Feel free to add me!

    Hi ladies! I am so happy that you 2 have responded to my post! I have got to figure out how to stay focused and motivated. I start out strong in the mornings and by the time I get home from work it's "katie bar the door"!!! I need someone to hold me accountable, someone I have to report to! I really want to be healthy, eating right and exercising. I worry about diabetes and heart disease, Lord knows I don't want either!! Lets do this ladies!! We can help each other!!

    Here's an idea, we all check in here daily and report with our happenings throughout the day ie., our meals, exercises, what our day was like, problems we are facing and so forth...this will be our support group!

    Hey all - feel free to add me as well - looks like we are in the same "rough" age group with similar goals (49 later this week, looking to lose 30#).

    Well good morning all! I opened a group called Support Buddies if you all want to go there daily and chat. Thought it might be helpful to us. :D
