NEWBIE HERE

Hi, all, I am NEW to this Group. and I am excited to start on my new weight loss program. I would like to loose around 30lbs. I am hoping that you guys can keep me motivated and help me reach my goal. As I look in to this, its so nice for it to tell you how much you have to eat and exercise to get to that goal that we all have set for that weight loss.

I am married and have 3 grown children and 7 grand babies. with 2 new premies twins boys. just born the first of June. I am hoping to hear and learn from you all. your success stories.

I love dogs, and use to show and raise St. Bernards and Cardigan Welch Corgis ( the corgi with the tail).

    I love dogs! (Read my "about me"). Welcome to MFP, it's an awesome site and it really does help. Let me know if you need anything, including encouragement. I just started about a week or two ago so I'm fairly new as well.

    Hi! I'm new, just started this morning. :) A friend of a friend introduced me to the site last night, and I'm really excited, because I'm one of those people who needs to see the numbers and have exactitudes and all that, and it's giving me motivation I really need. I have PCOS, so I've got a really cruddy metabolism, and I had a beautiful little girl 2 years ago, and my body just hasn't recovered from it. I need to lose about 100 lbs. I'll be happy with 80 (I like being a little squishy, but I'm just too squishy). I really hope this is going to be the kick in the butt I need to get my body back!

    Hi, and welcome, I love dogs also, and I am considering a corgi mix. Or as I call them a little big dog. This place is great. My goal is 35 pounds, and I am almost halfway there. I started in April. Good Luck!!!!!!!

    Welcome to the site!

    There are a lot of tools avail to help you here, as well as support from like minded folks!

    I too am a dog lover. I actually looked into the Welsh Corgi when researching breeds, but
    we ended up settling on the Australian Sheperd. He's 6 years old now, going on 6 months lol-
    a puppy till the day he dies I think- and we love him to death!

    I wish you much success on your weightloss journey!

    Wow, lots of moms on here! Great! I feel so much better about not losing the baby fat immediately. >.< I had so many friends who were pregnant around the same time I was, and 3 months after the baby they were back to wearing bikinis again. It's so hard to see people like that and not think "what am I doing wrong???"
