I WILL do it this time! I WILL! I know that I have said it before, and I did come close before. Life has given me a few too many slaps in the face these past few years, and there is no time like the present! I WILL do it, and I'm looking for a support system on this journey! I am a stay at home Mom of 2 boys (7 and 3) - and my husband is away much of the year.

Hey! Congrats on your decision to make a change in your life. I totally have faith in you and bet you will do your best as long as you don't give up. We tend to fall off and back on, from time to time, but it's a matter of keeping it going

Good luck!

Welcome; looks like you're off to a good start.

hi goldhalo . i'm newish here too, joined this time last year but gave up and the scales tell the story . our stats are pretty much the same, similar start weight, height and goal weight. I will be your buddy, would love to have someone here willing to kick my behind if i'm slacking !! i joined ww for the extra motivation. how are you doing it? i got some good advice to make smaller goals. even though i have a huge end goal of 70lbs, how about starting by losing 10lbs and doing it 7 times. its my birthday in 3 weeks so i'm aiming to have my first 10 off by then. want to join me?

Thanks for the support Ladies!!

@Skinniminni I started this journey with my trusty journal. I am recording EVERYTHING, and eating on average 1200 calories a day, and also recording my water in take. I FINALLY met my first goal today of 20 POUNDS! I am sooooo excited. Next goal (besides just getting into the 220's) is to lose 5 pounds! Like you, I am trying to aim for smaller goals! It's a deal skinniminni, I would LOVE to lose 10 pounds with you to celebrate your birthday!! Ironically, my birthday is close too... it's on Monday! Let's get started!

Hi Gold

I'm looking for a weight loss partner too to keep me accountable! I have three children myself. A 10 year old, a 7 year old and a 3 year old..2 boys and a girl.

Im also in grad school so I am so busy busy busy but I would LOVE to have a weightloss partner so we can keep each other grounded.

I think we can PM each other here? Not too sure..I couldn't find one. But if you wanna partner up lemme know

Howdy and welcome! I'm somewhat new too, or rather and off and on member. I would also love a partner!

HI! I am finally ready to lose all this weight I have put on in the last few years after college, about 25 lbs. It doesn't sound like a lot but I haven't been able to lose it yet, after MANY tries and many different diets. I have given up alcohol, and have been taking a diet pill for about two weeks that really isn't working. Ive also been trying to run 30 minutes a day and limit what I eat. Its been two weeks of all this and the scale stayed right at 160..... kinda frustrating. But I won't give up and I am glad I found a forum to talk to other people losing weight!

Hi! Great start!! If you stick with it, you will definately see even more results!

Welcome!!!

Hi ya!!! I am looking for the same as you! You must certainly be busy with 3 kids AND going to Grad school. Bravo!! I would love to partner up! I must confess, I didn't have a great day yesterday... I had the kids at a birthday party and I ate a piece of cake AND a cupcake. Gotta try to make up for that today! Looking forward to hearing from you. I don't see a PM option - but I am sure there must be one here. I'll take another lookie around!

Welcome aboard - I'm looking for all the support I can! I have a long journey ahead of me! But I'm determined this time! Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am sooooo looking forward to that, I had a little set back in the cupcake department yesterday, but I'm back at it today!

Ha! I know that feeling! We ate a lot of fast food yesterday, it was horrible!

I'm making cupcakes today, but healthy ones! I found them on Pinterest, little taco cupcakes!

I took the kids to a birthday party yesterday... and the cake practically hopped into my mouth. I have to get more will power to resist!
