Looking for an online buddy in Ohio to compare notes and progress with once in a while.

Close, I am hoping to move to Indianapolis for graduate school.

If I can help, please let me know!

Hugs and good luck

I am in Buckeye land, Ohio that is! Actually I live in New Carlisle, outside of Dayton. Where are you located?

I just read your profile--and had to laugh about your comment about having a desk job and "your butt taking the form of the chair"--or something like that.

I hear ya! I have one of those jobs myself. And I often blame my job for keeping me down. But certainly that can't be my only problem--and I know it isn't!

I have two daughters--age 10 and 11--that keep me hopping as well. I also have a crazy Italian husband who likes to cook on occassion--and that has added to my waistline. Thankfully, he is supportive of me trying to lose weight--so hopefully we can modify some of those fattening meals he likes to cook!

I have been dealing with weight issues for as long as I can remember, but they got much worse after I had my two daughters. But I can't use the baby fat excuse any longer!

So now I have redicated myself to getting fit. It's not going to be easy, but I know that I CAN do it!

How are you doing? Are you following any kind of plan? I am choosing to eat healthy choices and eating every few hours to keep my sugar levels in my blood stable. That is something I have read in a recent magazine that is supposed to be a good thing. (I am always reading magazines and looking for new tips!) So far I like the approach, because I don't feel starved at any point in the day--which has always been a problem for me and caused me to eat the wrong choices.

Looking forward to chatting more...

Hey Ohio here too. I am new and just starting out so I can use all the help I can get. I am 53 married for 33 years and have 2 grown daughters and 4 granddaughters. Let me know if you want to keep in touch.

Hi micelady,

How is everything going? Are you using any particular plan?

Please feel free to stay in touch--I need all the shoulders to lean on while I proceed in this healthy journey in life!

Hi Karen
Not doing good at all. I can't seem to get started. Tomorrow is another day and I am again going to try and get motivated. I am so ready for the spring to get here so I can go out and get walking again. I love to work in my gardens and swim so warm weather where are you.
Keep in touch and give me a push to start me going.

HUGS
Buddy

Hi Karen

Well I did it I have lost that first pound so I am on my way. No I am not using any certain plan just doing what I have known all along but never practiced, cut the calories and exercise. I am cutting the calories but eating less at meals and very little snacking. As for exercise I am slow there yet but as soon as spring gets here I will be back walking. I can hardly wait for spring and being able to get out again to walk and work in my gardens.
How are you doing? I hope good is not here is a push to get started again. (push). I am in Toledo where are you in Ohio.
Let me know how things are going and stay in touch.

HUGS
Bonnie

Hi Bonnie!

Good for you, you are on your way with your pound loss! You know you are doing something right! That must make you feel good!

I am doing pretty good...I have been going to my local YMCA and doing water aerobics twice a week. Once I got past putting on that swimsuit and jumping in the pool--nothing could stop me! It actually is such a wonderful form of exercise where I don't constantly look at the clock and think about how long I have been in moving. I guess it's for me! I also like to take walks when it is warmer outside. I live in a town called New Carlisle outside of Dayton, Ohio. Today the weather is actually warming up a bit. Almost time to plant some flowers! What kinds of flowers do you like to plant?

I feel really motivated right now and in control. I know I will have my down days, but it always feels good when you feel like you CAN really do it!

Keep posting!

I live in Ohio, in Kent.

It sure would be easier to do what you know is right in terms of exercise if it weren't so darn cold here! I am so ready for spring. It feels like a long time coming this year!

Hi fellow buckeye! I am so ready for spring as well! I just went nuts and bought 3 pairs of sandals from HSN. I guess I am just wanting it to be warm so bad--can't wait to try out the new shoes!

Cheers!
