    Hi I'm Jodi! I am brand new, just signed up tonight. I am trying to lose about 30 pounds. This is new to me because I was always so skinny and never had to worry about eating well...and then menopause, depression and medication and BOOM! lol So here I am ready to get healthy. I have been working for the past couple of weeks on making small changes to my eating habits and I have lost approximately 7lbs before joining tonight..so hoping to keep going and start to incorporate some exercise into my days. I find this to be a real stumbling block right now, because of my work hours and over a one hour commute each way. So hopefully meeting some others here on MFP will help keep me motivated and on the right path. I really want to wear my bathiing suit this summer and feel good about how I look in it! :happy:

    Just signed up tonight too! I am really lagging in the motivation department. I have a 5 month old baby boy that is sooo awesome but I don't have a lot of time to myself and when I do I just want to take a snooze......... I am at a point where I am the biggest I have ever been and have about 60lbs to lose. :( It's soooo hard and I have no self control at all these days.

    It must be a convention of Jodies! I'm Jody too (only with a Y). I started on Jan 2 at 200 lb. My first goal is to get down to 160 lb. After that, I'd eventually like to get down to 130-135, which is near my ideal weight. I have decided not to weigh myself again until Feb 2 because I get obsessed with a number on the scale and not take into account the positive lifestyle changes I'm making. Just wanted to say "hi" to my fellow Jodies here.

    My name is Deanna. I started my weight loss journey about a year and a half ago. I am 13 pounds away from my goal, I would love to give as well as receive encouragement. I made my big push and lost 20 pounds since Dec 4th (yes I did it over the holidays). My thought was that if I could say no to food I loved during the holidays It would be easy to keep it up the rest of the year. Here is to a thinner us in 2012!

    Deanna,I think I found the 20 pounds you lost during the holiday's.But I hope we can both lose these last few pounds.
    What was killing me was that I work for a coffee shop(wont mention name's)but all the coffee's werent good for me.The mochas hve so many calories and so does some of the milk and whip cream and so on.I hope I dont waste my money on the gym.As of now I am still going strong.I am going 4 to 5 times a week nd while I'm there I make it count.Good luck and tomorrow is a new day.Thats wht I tell myself.

    I joined here in November - 1 year after quitting smoking - I need to lose what I put on while working on remaining quit. I would love some company, some support.

    I am 42 and I am at 146 lbs right now and my goal weight is to get back to 133 lbs - where I was before I quit smoking.

    Since putting in a better effort in December, I have managed to lose 5lbs.

    Please feel free to add me (you might just be my first LOL)

    Hi Jodi! Join one of the challenges on here. You make lots of friends - get GREAT support and these challenges will kick your butt into HIGH GEAR!!! You'll love it. If it weren't for them, I'd not push myself and not feel accountable.

    Good luck!! I know you'll do really great!

    ~Sandy

    And my sister's name is Jody - so I'm a little partial for extra support! ;)

    If you can't go 2 weeks without needing support you need to refocus yourself and ask yourself are you really commited its 14 days, if you can decommit in 14 days nobody is gonna give you a big enough kick in the *kitten* to keep you moving if anything they will wear themselves down and bring themselves down and you can chat with one another with bunch of excuses on why your not hitting your goal.
