I am 39 yrs old and have struggled with my weight for a long time. Things got bad in 1994 when I jumped 4 pant sizes in a month with no apparent reason. Needless to say in 2000 I was diagnosed with PCOS. I am married and we have an adoptive son who is 9. I am trying to lose the weight and get healthier for myself and my family. I want to be active with my kiddo.

I need support to help me with accountability, sharing ideas, etc.

Message me if u want to become weight loss buddies.

    You can add me as a friend! I have incredible information through being an Herbalife distributor. The key to weight loss is enough PROTEIN, which depends on your weight, age, etc., but it's safe to say to go for 100 grams of protein a day. WATER: drink HALF your body weight in ounces each day. I used to be a size 22, am now a 16, and going for a 12! Any questions, feel free to ask!

    I could use some motivation also - please feel free to add me and we can keep each other accountable. I'm trying to eat healthier also for my kids and myself. Good Luck with your weight loss.

    Hello, I need a weight loss buddy also, I turned over a new leaf after the labor day weekend. I am 43 years and two years ago I gained another 20 pounds pushing me to 200. I hate wearing XL and 16 - 18 size pants. I want my size 12's back. I am also walking in a Breast Cancer walk in May 2012 for a distance of 39.3 miles, so i have to get my butt off the recliner chair.
