I've never posted on any message boards before, but I've been lurking around here for awhile and I just decided that it was time get involved. Although, I'm not too sure where I fit in. I'm following the WW program, but I'm not offically going to meetings.

Anywho, I'm married, 34 years old with 2 kids, and work full-time. In trying to work in taking care of a house and family, I have neglected myself. I decided that I'm tired of being overweight. My sister and I just started planning a summer vacation and I want to be comfortable wearing a swimsuit this year. not trying to be a supermodel, just comfortable.

Well, I'm glad to jump in with everyone on this journey and look forward to reading more posts.

Hello, Ladyhawke! (BTW, I loved that movie!!) I am new here too. In fact, this is my very first post!

I'm not sure which plan I want to follow---lower carb eating, or WW. With WW, they say you can eat everything, which just gives me a license to really eat EVERYTHING. I'm sure they didn't mean "all at once" I did South Beach at one point and was doing very well on it. I lost 13 lbs. in less than 3 weeks. But I jumped off that wagon too. Maybe if I had a buddy to chat with, I could decide what I want to do and have someone else to be accountable to, besides my cheating self!

My DH and I are going to Hawaii at the end of August, and I would love to be able to look good in a bathing suit by that time. I have 26 weeks to lose some of the weight (my goal is to lose 25-30 lbs. by then, which is doable), and need to get started if I'm gonna succeed!

Post often, and I'll be looking out for you and anyone else who wants to help us along the way!!

Thanks!

Hi Kygrrl and Marti--Sorry I didn't check my posts over the weekend. I did Atkins for awhile and it worked well, but I started bringing carbs back and then weight came back. I lost 20 pounds on WW and I gained that back. I had a wedding I was going to that I wanted to lose the weight for and of course once the wedding was over I gained it back. So I guess you can say I'm starting over....again. *sigh* It's a never ending battle.

Ladyhawke is about the only romantic movie that my husband REALLY likes. And it was just one of those nice movies that I really like too, so when I was looking for a user name I thought it would be great.
