Since there seems to be a bunch of us newbies starting out together, some of thought we could start a support group. Post here to sign up and we'll have our first official post in Support Groups on Monday. The thread title will be Sticking With It - Week 1.

I'm Jeanne, 34 years old, mother of a 4 year old girl and a 1 year old boy. I am curently a SAHM, but will be returning to work full-time in September. I live in NY.

I am not following any specific eating plan. I am using FitDay to track my calories in and out.

I want to lose about 60 pounds. I am hoping to lose 10 this month.

Hi sounds good can I join? My name is Mary. I am 23 years old. I have a two year old daughter named layla, she is my pride and joy and I am also a stay at home mom.

I just joined weight watchers tonight, and am excited to be an official member, I tried doing it at home and it hasn't worked well for me in fact I have gained back 5 out of the 25 I've lost, so this is my fresh start.

HI Count me in.
I could use the support and would like to get to know everyone.

I'm Leec, 33, married and have a two year old daughter. I am counting calories and exercising.

Count me in. Single twentysomething Texan with no children. Even before reading this post, I had decided to start my diet on Monday. On Monday, I will start calorie counting and exercising. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Sounds great, count me in too!!

HI Everyone,

I hope to get to know you all!

Arenace - I am from San Bruno not too far! Any other NorCal people?

Well it is now officially the weekend... The hardest part for me. I have been doing Jenny Craig for the past four + months and it seems that weekends are my worste time. I just hate having all the time on my hands to do things. Mostly me and my husband and son go out and do things which of course leads to not being able to follow through on the JC food. But since i am now on half JC and half own food, I guess I can consider it a test for me!!!!

Wish me luck and I hope you all have a good weekend!!!

Question for all:

Do any of you have advice for toning the body. I have lost 60+ pounds and I feel I need to tone my body now. I am 38 and I do a lot of cardio but no toning or strength exercises. Any good advice?

Mari, Howdy neighbor, and Congrats on the weight loss!!

I'm in! I started 2 weeks ago today....again, but my biggest challenge has been actually sticking with it in the past. I already feel like I'm being held a little accountable cause I come on here and constantly read successes and it makes me realize that I can do it too if I just "stick with it." That's not an easy task on your own because sometimes you just wanna let it all go....or at least I do. That's when I hop on here and my outlook changes.

A little about me. I'm 22 and have been married to the love of my life for almost 2 years (June 12th is 2 years). I work in retail so my schedule is always odd making it hard to eat right all the time (thankfully I've learned to make time to take healthy food to work with me). I'm also transitioning from a NASCAR fan to a fan and a writer, so that keeps me busy too. Guess that's it, and I'll see yall in the thread Monday morning
