First name: Jeanine

Geographical location: Colorado, USA

Age:21

Marital Status:Married

Children/Ages: None

Occupation:Grad Student

Pets: One cat

Hobbies/Interests:Writing and Walking

Height:5'9

Eye/Hair Color:Brown

Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: June 9th, 2007

Starting Weight: 325

Present Weight: 325

Goal Weight:171

Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Controlling what food I eat, and how much.

Following any specific plan: Not at the moment

What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: This time I am taking it seriously.

Anything else you would like to share with us: I really am in need of support. My husband is wonderful and very supportive, but he is always working or at school, which leaves me home alone most of the day, so I sit and eat. I have no friends, and don't know anyone in my community, so I have no support group.

I am new too! Now you have friends!

I have moved many times and it's hard to meet people unless you find a common interest. Book club, volunteer at an animal shelter etc. It takes time and it can be lonely so when you are lonely, come here!

Good luck!
