Hi.. My name is nitag, I am female 44 yrs old, married. Mom of 2, grandma of 3 and have lost 27 lbs but I have quite a more to lose. I am in this for the long run, until I reach my goal and then to stay there... I would like to be with a group of people who are in it till the end. I would like it to be a fun group that can really get to know each other and support each other no matter what that would be... I would like to have a weekly weigh in on Fridays... If you don't want to weigh in that is fine too. If anyone is interested in joining me let me know....

    Count me in! I am looking for the same! I currently weigh in on Mon as it helps keep me focused over the weekend and encourages me during the week. Let's get to know one another and support eachother thru this journey. I have 128 to lose so need all the support I can get!

    Hi Nitag and AJ!
    You can count me in too. I weigh in frequently, but will share on fridays with you if you like. Support really helps. I'm only down 10 lbs, but still have 50 more to go!! Can use all the help we can get right!? Have a great weekend, and hope we all talk soon.

    I'd love to join you too. I have lost 10lbs but have a way to go to get to my goal. It would be nice to make a few careing connections to help along the way.

    Yes, count me in I do belong to another weight management groug but, we meet only once per month. You can never have too much support. I've lost 60 pounds so far but I have 140 to go. My goal is to be at my goal weight before I get my Degree at NIU.

    Kristi and adopt4.. I love you guys. Everyone else yeah.. We can be a group..

    Me, I just got done working out... 45 mins on the treadmill and some weights for the good ole arms... I did some wonderful squats and was able to feel them in the behind... Nice feeling.....

    I do have my 5 yr old grandson Chris this weekend so I might not be able to check in that often, maybe not till later tonight or Sunday after we take them home..

    I think it might be a good idea for everyone to post a little bit about ourselves so we can get to know one another.. What do ya all think???

    Sounds good to me. Kathy, that is way cool! Tell us how you have been losing the weight?

    I also belong to the Over 300 club thread which I really like because we address some of the particular needs of those of with A LOT of weight to lose. I also belong to THE Team, where I met Nita and adopt4 I love that thread too for support, friendship and structure.

    Good luck everyone! Talk to you later!

    60 lbs, that is awesome...

    I agree, support to me is what it is all about......

    Can I join, too?
    I see some people here are in my "age category," which is a bonus. Because isn't it true that metabolism changes as you get older???
    I'm barely over 5' tall and very small-boned, and I've only gained weight in the past 5 years or so. I'm still trying to figure out how many calories I'm allowed...It says 1200, but I'm still GAINING!

    And I really have to skimp on the exercise...I have fibromyalgia. So even a short walk is sometimes more than I can handle.

    But support from a group would be good...:flowerforyou:

    I just had a great workout.. Well walk.. 30 mins on the treadmill and I did 2 miles.. I was walking my lil legs off... Burnt 345 calories.. It felt good..


    I am off to Reno for the day.... Everyone in my family that is under 30 seems to be pregnant and having babies left and right ... I have 2 baby showers to go to next few weeks...

    Have a great Sunday...
