LOL My 11 year old is my cheerleader too. This will be an adventure! Thanks

    I started on Saturday. I weighed in at 222 and am so far really enjoying this. It reminds me of weight watchers without the price tag and the embarrassing meetings. I only have 1 friend so far and that is the person that recommended me to the program. You can add me if you want.

    You should be proud of yourself for taking this step. I have been on the site for about a month, and the food tracking has been very helpful. I also could use some support, as I've really been struggling. Please feel free to send me a friend request. We can all use as much support as we can get. :flowerforyou:

    Whooo Hoooo!!!!!!!!!! See you have one day almost behind you and ready to meet a day a new! I myself wasa single mom for 13yrs He is now 16 and lives with his father about 2100 miles from me and my husband. I live in a very remote area making it hard to find support. Even being married yes it's hard to find the right support system to hold you accountable, responsible, and reliable for others as well. I'm happy your here and look forward to chatting more with you in the future....

    I love this new adventure to finding a healthy lifestyle with many blessing of friendships along the way, OH yeah firmmer behind, Girlfriend!!

    Toodles,

    C
