Hey all, i am new here. I am a Realtor in Arkansas and recentely had new photo's taken for my business cards. OH MY, i could have fell over! I have got to do something, i have to do something NOW! I can not believe i did this to myself, well yes i can! I have decided to lose 85 lbs. I need to do this for my health, i have kids to take care of. I really need this, i have let this go on way to long. My husband said he would buy me a trike if i did it, and well i really want a trike, LOL. It was my idea, it gives me something to look forward to. Well, wish me luck, i can do this, i've done it before but this time i need to keep myself in check so i don't balloon back up in a couple of years.

    Welcome! I just recently started too. But, the most important piece of wisdom that I can give you based on my experience is this....PUT DOWN THE FORK! (and avoid finger foods.)

    Hey from Arkansas too. Whereabouts in Arkansas are you? I'm in Russellville. You can do this. It gets easier and easier every day.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm also new on here. I am what is known as a road warrior. I travel 90% of the time for my company. Guess what is on either end of every turnpike
    McD's!!!:noway:

    Well I've made a decision to invest in myself. I've ordered my NutriSystem meals, and until they arrive I am counting every little calorie I put into my body by tracking here.

    I am 5'3" tall and weigh 169 today. I have to lose 29 lbs quick!!! I can't stand looking at my body. Together we can all do it, we just need the discipline. I am now staying in hotels that have microwaves and when I get my NS food, I will take it with me. The only thing I'll add to my meals will be a side salad.

    Let''s do it together, without going crazy. I live in Tulsa, OK

    God Bless everyone!

    Welcome aboard -- a trike is a very nice incentive. I bought my wife a Harley Low Rider a few years back and I haven't seen her since :laugh: Not true, she rides well and is always leaving me in the dust on my HD Street Glide.

    Good Luck!

    I am so jealous of your wife, I have wanted either a Low Rider or a Fat Boy for forever. I almost jumped a girl at a traffic light on a Fat Boy once just to steal it from her but then my better sense kicked in. :laugh:

    Welcome - I'm formerly from Gravette, AR. Currently have family in Fayetteville. I've been away for years but love to visit as it always feels like 'home'.

    I think you'll find this site very useful.

    Best of luck :flowerforyou:
