I am new to 3fatchicks and am wanting some dieting partners. I am 5'5, 34 years old, high school teacher, mother of 2 daughters and weigh 145-150 (which fluctuates on a daily basis). I am desperate to do WHATEVER it takes to loose at least 10 pounds in a few weeks and keep it off permanently. I lost about 20 pounds this time last year and have managed to keep it off. However, the last 10 are driving me crazy. I am a huge fad dieting diva and have tried lots of them but constantly looking for new ones. I would love to have a few buddies to give some thougths and ideas and just share recipes and inspirations with. Please let me know if you are intereseted. I LOVE this site and all the great recipes - so glad I found it!!!
