Hello, World!

My name is Stephanie. I'm 20 and I've always had trouble with a pudgy belly, thick thighs and and a big....posterior. ;) I have wanted to lose weight for awhile and I actually stuck to a regular diet and exercise routine...for about a couple of weeks. Then the weight kept piling on, so now I'm ready to give it a second shot...for REAL this time. I'm trying the Slim Fast diet starting the 16th this month and hopefully, after this first month I'll see some results. From there, I may or may not continue the diet or just start watching my intake.

I'm looking for a buddy to help me get through, maybe help each other come through...is anyone else setting a goal for a fresh start out there?

    Hey girl!! Welcome!! This site is AWESOME and you will find all of the support & motivation you need!! My suggestions are:
    -log EVERYTHING you eat....even a bite of cookie you sneak when no one is looking... :D
    -get involved in these forums...the more you know, the easier it will be to make healthy options..
    -stay POSITIVE...don't stress too much, just remember why you want to make the changes in your life!!

    Good luck !!!

    Hi! I just joined about 2 weeks ago. This is the first time I've really made an effort to lose the "baby weight" from when I had my daughter 5 years ago. I was always pretty skinny until I had her, so I blame her entirely. lol I'm also looking to add some more friends, so feel free to add me, if you want.
