New here ...

  • Hey everyone! I've been here before but I've never stuck with it. I finally got the motivation to LOSE THE WEIGHT and def could use tons of support.

    My name's Jamie and I'm less then a month shy of 25. I am the mommy to an almost five year old little man, named Brycen. Ever since I had him I have struggled with my weight. Pre-Brycen I was roughly 130-135 lbs (i'm 5'7). I never worried about my weight in high school. Never worried about what I ate or working out. Nothing! Now, I cant seem to drop the extra 30ish lbs I put on. Right now, I am a few pounds shy of what I weighed when he was born ( ). Anyway, I am very motivated this time and KNOW that I can finally lose the weight. At the start of this week I weighed in at 169 .. and as of today I'm at 168 .. so I've at least dropped a pound so far! I have a terrible habit of weighing myself everyday because I want results NOW

    Anyway, I am very interested in a buddy. I'd love to get to know someone better, and go through this with someone. Whether you have a hundred pounds to lose or thirty something like me, it dont matter! I'd really like someone around my age, possibly with a child/ren that knows exactly what i'm going through. But if not, that is quite fine too! I'd like to have someone to email back and forth with, rant & rave, and analyze the food I eat everyday with LOL Anyone interested, let me know and I'll PM you my email addy

    Anyway, cant wait to get to know you ladies!!
  • Jamie!
