Hi, My name is Holly and I am going to be thin! (lol)
I live in Mansfield, Ohio
When I was little everyone said "What great eyes she has." One day at a family gathering (I was about 3) I went up to someone and said "Look at my grape eyes." It has been my nickname ever since. For the record, my eyes are hazel.

My name is Christine. I live in Granger, IN. Eventually I will have 24 charms! No real significance to my screen name, it was my first email address..... a long time ago! lol

I think this is a great way to reward myself without food!

My name is Katie
I live in Arlington, TX
My screen name is my married name with my husband(16) and my favorite(22) numbers.

I am gonna use the charm bracelet my husband bought me for Valentine's day this year. I am allergic to nickle. I am excited to finally have a reason to start putting some charms on my charm bracelet.

It is so great meeting everyone!

I'm Debbie. Actually my maiden name starts with O and my married name starts with L so that's where the name really comes from but I always tell people it's "Debbie on-line," you know, like AOL :-).
I joined in April and have lost 21 pounds since March 15th. Still have a long way to go, but I'm on my way. I already had one of those Pandora style bracelets but had never added charms to it other than the 2 end clips it came with. I found some cute ones on eBAY & can't wait until they arrive. :happy:

You guys are all great and I am happy to know you!

My name is Angela

I live near Edmonton, AB, Canada

Have 3 kids ages 25 son (put up for adoption), 20 daughter and 9 son.

Have ALLOT of weight to get rid of.

My Grandfather called my "Stinky" when I was a baby and changed it to "Tinky" or "Tinks" when I was a toddler. I was the only grandchild he nicknamed. As I got older I started liking Tinkerbell and more recently as all the Tinkerbell movies came out I liked her more and more the numbers are my 2 lucky numbers 13 & 69

Nice to meet you Cindy! I look at it this way... if we do nothing we stay the same or get heavier. Even if we lose one pound a week, in a year we weigh 52 pounds less!

I love the story of your nickname Tink.

My name is Cassie. I am 23 years old and live in San Diego, CA.
I have officially been married one year to my high school sweetheart as of May 28th.
I am on a mission to lose 110 lbs.
I LOVE the idea of a charm bracelet and have recently bought my first 3 charms.

As for my screen name, I absolutely LOVE cherries. Always have, always will. Being as this was a healthy website, I thought it would be cute to incorporate my favorite fruit into my name

Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that I have my laptop back and a new fitbit. Now to get back on track. I have not been tracking or following a plan very well the past two weeks. However, I'm back to tracking and following my program. I haven't earned my first charm yet, so I need to get going.

Cindy

Welcome back!! Happy everything is up and going for you!! Hope you get your first charm real soon!! Hugs!

Hi everyone
My name is Steph and I live in Burleigh Falls Ontario...its so small I dont even know if we are on the map..lol
I have 4 daughters, one who is graduating from college today! another one who will graduate from college in Jan, one that will start college in Sept and my baby who is finishing up her first year of high school. My screen name.....I used to chat online alllll the time and this was my screen name...when I joined here, I thought I would use it that way I wouldnt forget it..lol

My goal is to be under 200 pds before my 40th birthday, which is just under a year away now ...that would mean a pound and a bit a week...i think as long as i do my best to stick to my exercise then I should come very close to my goal!

Im happy to be apart of this group it helps me so much!

Hi Step,
Welcome! My grandmother was born in Montreal many years ago. Therefore, I do have French Canadian heritage. I am also just plain French and Italian. Congratulations to your daughter on graduating from college.

I too am working on getting under 200. I am not far from it, but I've haven't managed to get below it yet. Once I get below that point, I'll have another 75 pounds to lose. This is a great group of gals. Everyone is very supportive of each other. I'm still working on earning my first charm. Hopefully, I'll be able to earn it by the end of June.

You can do it! The way I look at it is...if I can get up off the couch and lose weight...anyone can!.....I always thought I was the one person in the world that couldnt lose weight, and what I realize now is that I never tried to lose weight, I just sat and thought about how big I was and did nothing about it, well that has changed and I havent sat and felt bad for myself since starting here. The thing I have noticed the most is when shopping, instead of just throwing what I want into the cart, I check the calorie count first and if it is way too high, I just dont buy it. I was shopping yesterday at Walmart and grabbed a box of those mini ritz with cheese, which was always one of my most favorite snacks, I actcually grabbed two boxes cuz they were on sale..lol but once i read the calorie count OMG! it was crazy so I put them back...lol I never realized how many calories I was putting into my body on a daily basis...I eat what I want...just in smaller doses, i try to chose the food with few calories...I have not had a hamburger in over a month, we now eat turkey burgers or chicken burgers, the family does not seem to mind them they just load them up like it was a real burger and pretend..lol
Everyone here is doing such a great job and you all inspire me...I keep going on a daily basis just so I can post it and make sure Im under my calories....and I want to celebrate with a big piece of chocolate cake!..lol
