Ok. I'm new to this whole thing, but at this point any help is appreciated. I'm 28 years old, the mother of two, the youngest being two and a half months, and trying to lose the weight. My husband and I are trying together, I should point out, but I've discovered that men are of no use with this stuff. He loses weight just existing, while I. on the other hand, can work my self into a sweaty pool and not drop an ounce. Ladies, I would love a new diet buddy!

Hi Alicia:

You're doing just great ... welcome and don't be shy. I had heard that Oprah had mentioned this site in her magazine; and thought we will soon see a huge influx of new members. That's fine with all of us ~ the more the merrier.

It's nice that your DH (dear husband) is supporting and participating. Even though my DH doesn't really need to lose more than 5-10 lbs, he wants to be healthier as well. I am very grateful for his co-operation in our new lifestyle.
It's good to have your family on side; and congrats on the new arrival.

We all have come here for the same reason, we want and need each other's support for one of the biggest challenges of our lives. You'll find lots of buddies here; glad you joined us ~ a fellow encourager ... Rosebud.

In my household right now I'm trying to lose he's trying to gain so that opens up a new obstacle for me with all the high fat foods he's been eating but so far I've stuck to it. 3 days 3 lbs gone! You made a good choice coming here, I love it! Everytime I feel the urge to grab a cookie or need a pick me up I come here and look at the progress pics and read the forums. Huge inspiration! If you ever need to vent or need a kick in the butt to get going this is the place. Good Luck! I'm cheering for ya!
