    Im a college student and work full time, plus trying to win a biggest loser competition that ends the end of march so this group is just what I need for my last month in the competition. It started Jan. 3rd, Im at 19 lbs now, and hopefully tomorrow on weigh in day i lose at least the 1 lb to average 10 lbs per mo so far! So if I can do another 10 the last month I will be so happy!!!
    This is really tough being in 2 college classes too, working full time and at the gym approx 2+ hrs. a day.

    Hi there! I'm a newbie, both to the group and the site.

    My name is Kell and I'm a SAHM to a gorgeous son and wife to a lovely hubby who adores me at any size. I, however, am not happy in my skin and want to do something about it. I want to be able ot take my son swimming without feeling embarrassed or embarrassing him - he's 3-y-o and has never been swimming yet, even though he loves water! (Something I'm very ashamed of.) I'm at my biggest ever. Even when I was pregnant with my son I wasn't as heavy as this, which is quite shocking to me.

    Anyway, I think this gorup will help give me the kick-start I need to get on track towards a healthier, slimmer me.

  • Hi, I'm new too, my birthday is in the end of the March and I want to use this time to learn to have a new attitude towards food and stop binge eating and letting it get in the way of my life. Seriously I feel like I need to rewire my brain! I'd love to give some mutual support!

    Hey Guys I am a 24 y.o Biology major (graduating this June) and looking for motivating friends :D ... I love to workout ( especially lifting) and have been into lifting for about 3 years now :) My biggest challenge is portion control and not overeating ! I am usually about 142 but I had a very stressful last 6 months and fell off the wagon so I am trying to revamp my metabolism and gain all my muscle back! This months going to be great!

    I'll take all the new friends, motivation and support I can get. I'm 28 living in Knoxville, TN. Newly married and want to finally get my weight under control before starting a family in the next year or two. I'm still struggling with some of the basics...like determining the correct # of calories I should consume and finding what works right for me.
