So maybe a forum is the best way to do this I've been trying to lose weight for a long time - two years ago, I got down to 130, but then I had some problems and gained it all right back, plus 20 pounds. Oh, yay.

Anyway, I started walking, sometimes up to 8 miles a day, and I lost 10 pounds pretty quickly, but now I'm at a new job, 8 hours a day, and when I get home I'm so tired that I usually end up going out for dinner, which is already not good, but I go out for lunch, too.

I should start taking lunch to work - healthy lunch. But we've got a fridge and a microwave, and I can't think of anything but sandwiches and soup.

If someone would be my buddy, I think that would help. You know, yell at me until I do something, because otherwise, I'll just sit and whine about it.

There seems to always be set backs, but at least you are up and at it again! I will be glad to be your buddy. I already have 2 buddies but I figure the more the better. I need all of the help I can get! Please email me and we can begin a joint venture to loose all of this unwanted fat immediately!

Welcome to both of you! You have both chosen a great place for advice & support.

I'm not sure what programs either of you are on. I'm on Atkins (it will be 2 years April 13). So far I've lost 85 lbs. I'm still trying to lose the last 20 stubborn lbs...but, I'll get there

Jennaelise, you mentioned not knowing what to take to work for lunch. I bring my lunch to work everyday, usually a salad with either tuna or grilled chicken. I've found the key is to have the foods prepared in advance. Makes it much easier.

I wish both of you all the best. Feel free to pm me anytime if you would like to chat.

Good Luck to both of you!

Kim

Hey Jerseygyrl, that is great! I tried atkins and could not do it, but I am on weight watchers and it works great! I lose something every week even if some weeks it is only .2 or .4 but hey I did not go up! So that is all that really matters. I am in Jersey also, North bergen area, where are you?

Jennaelise.. Do you have time to prepare something for you to bring to work for lunch?? Also I was wondering to if you are trying any program to help you? With weight watchers there are many options and I can help you out with things like that.. email me if you would like a buddy..

I just was weighted in this week and 3 more pounds gone!!! YAY!!
