I hope I've found it!

I was hanging around SparkPeople for a few weeks, but they are not as active as you guys seem to be!

I'm 24 and I have about 100 lbs to lose! I started my "official-I'm-really-serious-this-time" diet on April 15th - I've lost 20 lbs so far. I'm not on a specific diet...But I would think it most closely resembles the south beach diet! I'm trying not to be a freak about food - If I mess up it's OKAY! This is a lifestyle change! CHILL OUT! It's working well so far!!

I hope to be chatty and find and give lots of support!

Thanks guys!

Hey Ro!

Cute kitty, btw.

Wow, you have a wonderful attitude...you'll find that most of the successful maintainers here had/have a similar one...it's a lifestyle, so just get back going if you deviate off track, and keep on your road.

We have a South Beach forum, where you might like to settle. We also have a 20-Somethings support group, and one of my personal favorites, the 100 lb club, for those who have lost or are on their way to losing 100 lbs or more - it is a great, chatty, active, and incredibly supportive group.

So look around, find a spot (or if you're like me...find 10!) and settle in. Can't wait to hear more from you soon!

THANK YOU for the warm welcome!! What a great place this is.

That is my Azzie girl in my avatar - She needs a diet too! She's going to the vet on Monday and hopefully we can work together to get her down to a healthier weight. It's not like she can drive to Taco Bell at 1am like me!! No excuses!

I can't believe I have over 100lbs to lose! I've yo-yo'd from 175 down to 120 (with LA Weight Loss) to 150 and up again to my current weight. Argh! This time it's for good!

If you're looking for chatty... you've found it!



Yeah, I remember that "Oh wow... I need to lose how much?" moment, too. But, you're doing it!

Have a look around, post wherever you're comfortable

Best of success!
