Red face New. May I join you?
Hi! My name is Jamie. I am a 26 year old, married, mama of one. I just started my most recent weight loss venture this past Sunday, and I am looking for some extra support. I am not just trying to lose baby weight - I want to finally kick my yo-yo dieting habits, get out of the obese BMI range, and keep the weight off FOR GOOD. I'm aiming to lose 60+ lbs over the course of 2010. I'm giving myself the year to do it since all you ever hear is that fast losses will not last. I am a compulsive/binge eater, and food has always been a struggle for me. I'll take all the support I can get and am more than willing to support others too. I'm sure it will be a pleasure to get to know you!

Hi Jamie and WELCOME!!!!! You and I have practically the same stats... Sounds like we have a lot of the same issues as well, minus me being married and having a kid (not that that's an issue),

Do you know what plan you'll be following yet?

This forum is AMAZING as you will see (if you haven't been lurking)... so much support in so many places for every person! The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to keep checking in! I know most people on here will agree that we tend to shy away from here when we aren't doing so well with our eating habits.

Glad to have you here!

I'm actually following Slim Fast. It works best for me and fits my super busy schedule. I also have hypoglycemia, and I've found SlimFast keeps my sugar from crashing (probably because I eat 6 times per day). I also record my meals in FitDay, so I know I am currently eating 1500-1600 calories.

I've got a whole host of food issues and weight loss is never easy for me. It's nice to hear that others, like me, are human and have issues too. I hope we can get to know each other and help to motivate and support one another....through good times and bad!

Welcome! I'm using fitday as well. I love it. And another thing that's good to remember: everyone makes mistakes. The key is to dust yourself off and keep going.
