Default 4/25/06 would love to get involved

Hello Everyone,
I have been snooping around on the site now for a couple of weeks, I have ask a few questions, but would love to get more involved.
I have been dieting for about a month, I have not lost much weight but I am not giving up. I feel that I am at a age is either now or never. I am determined to get the wieght off. (I don't know why, but I can figure it out as I go along) I would love to start a challange with someone. I am going to the beach in Aug. and would love to be 200 or less by then. I don't know if it's possible. The weight has been fighting me every step of the way, almost as if it has a mind of its own.
I am a bank manager, so I don't get much exersize, and I work long hours, I also have 4 kids, and even though 3 of them are teens, I am very busy. I have to find the time I know, but its hard to do.
I weigh about 255 now, I was 268 when I started a month or more ago. I would love to loose 55 lbs by mid Aug. Anyone want to join me?

Hey Lady!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! I would love to be your weight loss buddy! I'm new here also, only a week, and I already really enjoy the ladies and their suggestions and encouragement. I also have teenage children, and I work a desk job. It's tough to get moving after work, because I'm zapped, and still have to be a mom and wife!
My name is Barb, let me know what I can do to encourage you!

Red face Welcome!


You've come to a great place for advice & support!

May I ask what plan you have chosen to follow? Whatever it is, being Atkins, South Beach, WW, etc...follow it, don't deviate from it & the weight will come off! You CAN do this!!!

All the best to you!

Kim

I'd do a challenge with you. I am at 230 and that would be great if I could be down to 200 by August. I need a challenge to kick my butt in gear. You could have a challenge named the 200's or something like that. I tried to do the challenge 15 pounds in 2 months, but not many were interested. You could also post minichallenges each week to help everyone with their goals. For example, drink 8 glasses of water daily or don't exceed you max. amount of calories, or work out 5 days...or something along those lines. I'll be here if you need my help or any tips or advice. You can PM me too! Good luck, I'll check in later.

Would anyone mind if I post a challenge for this week? If not, I have a great idea, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes!
