Buddy to lose 100 before I turn 30!
 

I want to lose the weight now! I will be 30 in Sept. and don't want to spend another decade over weight.

Hi Melody,
I have about 100 pounds to lose and have just started visiting this forum. I'm 44, and live in western tennessee.
What type of program are you following?

Hello girls!
I know exactly what you're talking about!! I have been big my entire life, and frankly, I'M SICK OF IT!!! I'm 29 y/o but feel 60! My birthday is in June, and I would LOVE to be a lot lighter by then! I would love to end in the 150's range. A couple of years ago I got down to 190, and it felt so good! I dont really know how in the world it crept back up to 255!! (okay, it had something to do with large portions, not exercising, and lots of sweets :D !!!) But my diabetes had come back with a vengence and my arthritis in my knees and feet are really bad, and so on! So I know I MUST do this, I can with the Lords help!

I have a really hard time on days that I dont work, and especially when DH is home! I did buy myself a treadmill, so that definately helps! I need someone to help me be acountable. My family, even though I love them so much, has NO understanding. I can always make excuses to myself, but not to others. I posted on boards before, and they help so much. I appreciate anyone who tries to help, and who understands!

Sorry this is so long, I tend to get long winded! Good Luck to all!

Kim :D

I'm completely with you!! I'm 31 but feel waaay older than that. I have never in my life been thin but am ready to find out what it feels like. I joined the gym last night but actually go for my first workout after dh gets off work.

I'm from southeast Kentucky & have 2 kids... 6 & 7 y/o. As for what plan I'm following, I'm waiting to get results back from dd's doctor. We're almost positive that she has Celiac Disease & will have to abstain from wheat/rye/barley. If so, then we may go low carb. Or just become vegans. I don't know yet. For now, I'm just cutting back.

Hi I'm a 21 yr old mom of 2 and I currently weigh 213 I would like to lose maybe 60-80 pounds. I'm new to the site and would like to make friends on here but if your interested and know how please let me know!

Being overweight certainly has a negative effect on how one feels age-wise. In my 20's and 30's, I felt over 40...at least. Now that I'll be 40 in under 2 months, I feel like I'm in my 20's. I feel better than I did when I actually was in my 20s. And I'm sure I'm much healthier inside. I actually even look younger now than I did then. Weight really ages us.

Sounds like I wrote that post! LOL Only I don't turn 30 til Oct. You know, if we all buddy up (and I remember to post here more) we can all do this!!!!!

I'm Jenn, btw - live in PA and have just about 100 to go. It sucks, I freely admit it. And it's slow going, but with spring here now, I think I'm a bit more motivated!

SPRING always revives me!!!
 

Spring always helps to motivate me!!! I love it so much, I think it is my favorite time of year!! I am so glad spring is here, because I definitely need some motivation!!! :D

100 lbs seems so FAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR away!! But I am determined also! I just pray that when I do lose, I can KEEP it off!!

Good luck to everyone, together we can do it !! :cb:
