Smile New to the forums and looking for friends and support!
Hello everyone!

I have been a frequent reader of these forums a lot recently but never really got around to registering/posting but alas I have now come to term with the fact that I can't do this alone

OK, so a little about me! I originally lived in England and came to live here in sunny Oklahoma. It was a culture shock and as well as getting used to the heat I have had to get used to the huge portions here and the sugar that seems to be in eeeeverything!! I put on a good 30lbs in the first month or two because my body I guess just wasn't used to the food, and slowly over the last year I have FINALLY managed to get 32lbs back off.

Unfortunately that's not enough for me as I am still quite over weight. I want to get to 150lb eventually but I'm struggling. My husband is not very supportive as he himself is very overweight and is reluctant to make any healthy changes himself and in turn sabotages my attempts SO I need some new friends and allies to help me and support me as I will them on my journey to fitness

Sorry for the long intro, but that's me and when I am right now!

I hope to make some good new friends!

Welcome Venussama,

I am new today too. I had a husband like yours minus the overweight. My ex could eat anything and did and continuously told me about it. We should stick together. We can do this!!!

Welcome to you too LSS

We can do it for sure! It is just so difficult when my hubby eats whatever he wants (even though he knows he shouldn't!) and constantly tempts me (and succeeds sadly) with ice cream and chips.

Now it's time to stop blaming him though and get some buddies who understand and get rid of this weight!!

I'm another newbee just signed up today and could use the encouragement as well as cheer each of you on to meet your goals! Never had a weight problem until I hit 50, and I have tried and failed with different approaches, but here I am ready to try.... and this time succeed!

Welcome my hubby was not in on my journey at first but when he saw how serious I was and my progress he jumped right in. Now we have both lost the same amount ( I got him beat by 3 lbs) my father in law live with us and he is my main sabotager cause he buys junk food like they are not going to stock it any more. He likes to bring home junk food like 4 times a week. But since this was something I absolutely wanted I fought like crazy and avoided it for months. Now I have a little here in there but I really know how to have it moderately do my weight is never affected. Well welcome and best of luck

Bobbette, I see your goal weight is the same as mine. Have you got a specific diet plan in mind? I'm going with protein shakes and smaller portions, dancing to the oldies and working out with my new kettlebell.
