Stumbled upon this site, and hoping it will give me the tools to accomplish a goal that I've been wanting to achieve... weightloss. I'm so impressed by the amount of weight people have been losing. A few friends I know have had lap band surgery and I really want to lose weight without surgery, shots, or appetite surpressents. I want this the old fashion way, calories in vs calories out.

    I don't know why but the site is working (so far) for me. Happy to be friends if you want some support. Good Luck!

    Welcome, and good on you for wanting to shed the weight yourself! That shows some serious drive, and being willing to hang here with us is a great step towards that goal!

    I admit that I have slipped more than once, and for quite some time, but if I can be of any help, let me know!

    You can do this!

    Thank you for the support, I need it. I have been up and down with my weight, but mostly up the past 3 years. I had a baby 10 days before I turned 38, and haven't been able to shed the pregnancy weight yet. My baby will turn 3 Dec. 26th. I have a history of diabetes in my family. Lost my Mom to complications to diabetes when she was 54 and I was 29 at the time. I really feel I need to get to a healthy weight, my life depends on it. I have 3 daughters, and I don't want them to lose a Mom like I did.

    I would love to be friends, but not sure how to do that :o) New to this, and it took me forever to get comfortable with FB, but once I learn it, you'll hear from me all the time :o)
