hi everyone! i have a lot of weight to lose and it gets frustrating doing it alone.. the hubby can eat whatever he wants and doesnt gain an ounce! in fact hes tryin to gain weight again (body building) so all he does is eat and eat and eat some more! ugh!! soo annoying! anyway, i have a 9 month old baby girl and i grew up watching my mom struggle and go on and off diets my whole life and i dont want my daughter to have those same issues so i need to get this all under control now, so anyone that wants to be friends let me know i need all the accountability i can get :)
thanks!

    Hi there. I'm up in Allentown, so we're practically neighbors !! : ) I'm a mom too, although my kids are much older - 10, 11, 13. Would love to add you as a friend so I'll send you an invite. Best! - Deborah

    Hi there... I'm in Lancaster too (West Lampeter). Small world!! I just started with MFP seriously a few days ago and so far it is really motivating me. I've have 3 children (5,3, and 1). My husband and I are both trying to lose some weight but he's doing it by going to the gym and I'm counting calories and doing work outs at home. I'd love another local friend for motivation... feel free to send me a request!

    Hi! It can be so difficult when your significant other isn't on board. In fact, mine comes home with a new Entenmann's cake every other day!

    thanks!

    Welcome, I think I'm the same way! Can eat pretty much what I want (within reason). However, I do exercise for at least 30 minutes most days so that keeps the weight down.

    I am about 10 mins outside of Philadelphia and i can feel your pain! My husband complains when he feels like he loses weight. Weve been together 16 years and he still looks the same (in a good way!). You have certainly come to the right place - i have been here since May and my ticker shows my progress....feel free to add me for support!

    Not far at all! My youngest was born at the Heart of Lancaster in Lititz. Love that area! I hear you on the gym. I went once so far and it just feels uncomfortable. I prefer to sweat at home... :) Comcast on Demand has some great ones!

    Ha! Yeah, I just drove by that new Target Sunday on our way out to the tree farm. I have a friend who lives in Lititz and she was thrilled they opened it but I imagine the extra traffic isn't any fun. Look under Sports and Fitness On Demand and then Exercise TV. Lots of good options... Jillian Michaels, stuff to do with kids, and Leslie Sansone Walks which I've been into lately because I don't have as much room to move around our living room with the tree up. :)
