    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)
