Hello all,

I am new to this site and looking for some motivation. My weight loss goal is 10-15 lbs. I think that having someone to compare progress and ideas with would really help me. Anyone looking for a person to bug them everyday?

    Hi Chimpoco,
    My name is Erica and I am also here to lose 10-15lbs, closer to 15lbs though. I would love to have a buddy that would help me stay motivated. I am an avid exerciser but can not seem to keep the junk food out of my mouth. So my huge issue is FOOD! I love to eat! But doesn't everybody?
    If you want a buddy, I'm your girl!

    Hi,

    I am the same.. want to lose at least 15..

    sad story though, i had lost it 2 weeks ago, then my friends came to visit and the diet flew out the window, so i'm here to start again. I gained 11 pounds in 11 days..disgusting.. disgusted..

    I am also a junk food junkie which is why i'm back to fight it..alot of booze and hangovers is the main cause of the overeating.. so that needs to stop for sure..

    I will need bugging so bring it on! You'll love this site, until last week it helped me alot.

    ashlee :)

    Hi! I also want to lose about 10 lbs more. It goes very slowly now, probably because my diet was not that bad before I started and I was quite fit - hehe, who would have thought it can be a problem :laugh:

    Good luck :smile:

    Sounds good. I haven't eaten yet. I've been sick with the flu(?) over the past few days. I've been eating way too many calories and have barely gotten out of bed.:cry:

    I hope you have a great time this weekend.

    I'm in for closer to 5lbs. My reason for being here is more for fitness than weight loss. I haven't had too much of a problem with weight thus far (ask me in a couple of years, after I've had kids! LOL).

    I, too, have a snacking problem, but I've been here for a few days now, and these cool tools make it kind of fun to count calories. I'm just trying to get rid of the pockets of fat that all this crap-eating has caused. Now that I've hit my 30s, my body has all of a sudden started saying, "You know, I think I'm just gonna hold on to that fat, just in case."

    :grumble:

    Count me in! I want to lose about 10 lbs. as well. It's so hard - I love chocolate and junk food and I find it hard to stay away from them!!!!

    Hopefully we can all keep each other motivated!!!

    Start weight: 139
    Weight today: 136
    Goal: 127......125? 125 is so hard to maintain though!

    Good luck to everyone!:smile:

    Hello hello!!

    I think that we should use this message board as a base to compare ideas and progress. I am so excited to share this journey with everyone!!!! As a new comer to this site, I am already totally addicted. I was a myspace addict for a while but once I found old friends and "caught up"--I lost intersest. I think this site is a much healthier addiction for me.:smile:

    You are sooooooooooooooo right!!! Wow, our stats are very similar!!! I feel wonderful at 136 but I want to go down to 130. 125 would be great because it gives me 5 pounds to play with in case I splurge from time to time but at my age (44) it might not be attainable!!! :wink:

    Keep up the good work!!!
