Hello All,
I am new here but have used the site off and on for years when viewing info on diet products etc. I am 33 a single mom to a 13 year old girl. My life is pretty sedentary, I sit most of the day and it is catching up with me. I spent most of my 20's gaining and losing the same 20 lbs and swore off diets but now that I am working in a library I am gaining weight like crazy. I love food and like to cook "full flavor". I am also soooo lazzzy. Now that I am in my thirties I just am not losing like I was so here I am ... looking for help and support to get me going and keep me motivated.
I look forward to participating and getting to know some of you! I think right now I will be working on portion control and getting into exercise, cutting back on Coke and drinking more water.

Hey,

Really like your username, very clever. I'm a newbie too....well new to this site not to dieting, sadly. I've spent my twenties gaining and loosing the same 50lbs.

I'm 29 and a flight attendant. With a mexican coke addiction. (Love love the glass bottles, and swear it tastes better than regular coke). It's a love/hate relationship.

I also seem to be running into similar problem with the weight not coming of as fast as it used to. My doc actually told me that I might not be able to get back to what I was, so naturally I'm now determined to get even better than I was!!!!!

Sounds like your on the right track with the portion control and cutting back on the coke. I've found unsweetened iced tea/mixed with a dash of lemonade is a nice replacement for coke, so is seltzer. And I'm doing a 5 minute rule for exercise. I have to exercise 5 minutes a day, and so far so good.

Glad you've joined, and if you find any good alternatives to coke please let me know.
