Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.
Thank you ladies! I wish you all the best of luck too. Is anyone in florida in the tampa area on here? Today was my second day on Weight Watchers and I feel great! My cousin lost a great amount of weight on it so I am going to as well. I am not attending meetings however doing everything else to the follow the program, I work a crazy work schedule so I feel if I kept putting it off because of that i would never start so I took it on myself! So any great weight loss stories to read or any challenges some of you face?
My goal is to lose 10 pounds a month and a total of 150 pounds. I am 5'6 and currently weighed in yesterday at 313 pounds I really dont look it, but I feel it and have the greatess self esteem but know its now or never to get right health wise!
I am interested in meeting new friend to be able to talk to and share together as we change our lifestyle, thanks again I am a little north of tampa
We went back and fourth with dates but finally chose one based off this: My birthday is March (3) his is July (7) equals 10 so October, then 22 because my family (1) his family (1) equals 2 then me (1) and him (1) equals 2 so 22, then we started dated in 2009, got engaged in 2010 and will marry in 2011...
i know cheesy right? lol but it means something more than just a date and we actually took the time to think about it haha
Welcome, fellow Florida girl I'm new here also, but have really enjoyed reading so far. If you want to message me your e-mail, I'd love to be support buddies. I got married almost 3 years ago and my biggest regret was not losing more before the wedding.. I'm a little vain sometimes, haha. I think the biggest help for me now is wanting the loss more for my health and long term reasons that vanity.
Yes we thought it was a cool idea and it just popped in to my head one night (god is good)! And its feel perfect too because then we will leave on our honeymoon the 23rd which we celebrate the 23rd of every month for our anniversary! true love is truley that LOVE
It is nice to see someone else from Florida! I agree with you that it is more health and the furture more than anything. I have been so depressed that I have letten myself gain so much weight over the last 5 years But I am on the right track and my 2nd weigh in is tomorrow!!! whoooo hoooo
Hi and WELCOME!! GOOD LUCK with your journey you are in a great place!! Try joining a challenge or support group and set mini goals for yourself so it doesnt seem so overwhelming then create a small reward for yourself for each one you reach. Something to look forward too!! One day at a time WE can do this!
Have a great day!
New to this and looking for additional support :)
