Hi everyone, I have been lurking and now joined. Im on my way to a better me. I really look forward to sharing stories with others in my same shoes for a change. Im married and have 2 kids and have been overweight for some time now. I started on Dec 26th 2004 with my changing my life. I also joined curves and go 6 days a week. I started at 258 and now Im down to 239. My goal as you see is to get back to what I was when I married 13 years ago. I don't follow any diet in particular just watch what I eat, I cut my carbs and gave up anything sweet, gave up soda, gave up caffein (drink Decaf coffee now) I very very rarely eat any bread. Im eating chicken, beef and tuna and LOTS OF SALAD. Im taking daily vitamins and I enjoy a nice protein shake in the Morning. I geared myself up to change about 5 weeks before christmas. IM the kind of person that when I set my mind to it I DO IT. I quit cold turkey smoking 1 1/2 year ago after smoking for 18 years. IM FEELING GREAT and LOOK so forward to buying that suit this summer.

Thanks for the great support site.

Hi Kelly, Congratulations on the -19#!
My name is Kathy and we are almost at the same place. I started at 272, now at 234 and I would like to get to 160. I also quit smoking cold turkey 3 years ago this April 3 after 18 years. I spent 1/2 my life smoking and gaining weight, now all I want to do is get healthy for myself and my kids! I am married-18 years this June, and I have 6 kids-girls 19, 11, 9 and 4 and boys 17 and 2. My oldest daughter graduated and moved to Washington and my oldest son is going to school in Oregon, so only the youngest 4 are still home.

I've been here a few months and was part of a group that posted regularly but it seems almost everyone has fallen away. :( There's only 2 or 3 of us left. They say most people break thier new years resolutions by Jan. 24th, I think it's true! But I'm keeping on! I hope we can get lots of new people to join us on this journey. We need all the help and encouragement we can get! I'm going to start a new thread, just don't know what to name it! But I'll let you know! I hope you'll join us!
Peace,
Kathy
