Hello everyone! I'm a newbie here and I'd like to have a buddy as well! I joined this website back in 2004 and I was able to drop from 204 to 160. Then I became pregnant with my now 1yr old son (I also have a 4 yr old daughter)and I gained 23 pounds with him. I was able to get back to about 165 after he came along and then I just stopped everything I was doing and went back to nursing school. Within the first 6 months of being back in school I gained 13 pounds and I've been in a rut. I recently started eating healthier and exercising and I've made it to 167 with a overall goal of 135. Since I had a lot of support last time, I thought it would be best to come back here and sign up again. So, I'm BACK!

So is there anyone who would like to buddy up with a 24 yr old, full time mom & wife, part time college student from Indiana who is ready to drop some LBs?

Hi, I must say you did a great job! I am 24 and currently weighing 153lbs...but thats high for me due to my height which is 5'2". i should be weighing upto 115-120!

I did lose a lot (like 30 lbs)of weight 3-4 years back by this diet plan called "general motors diet"..its something like the cabbage soup diet. I did it with 3-4 of my friends and we all lost a lot of weight... after that I got married, stopped job for sometime and moved to a different country, had no friends/family and I guess I ate like a dog!

now, I have started running atleast 15 minutes a day for 4-5 days a week since the last 2 months, try to keep my diet in control (no suggar/fat)..but havent really lost any weight!

I think I really need a strict plan for myself and would love to have a weightloss buddy to do this!

I am also suppose to be 115-120 because im 5' but im 160 sigh admitting it is the first step my im name is twoprincesoneprincessmom9 im me if you'd like

Hi hoosier and Jenchick...
I just came across a a board in our local park yesterday about swim lessons being offered for the summer. I am registering myself NOW! I didnt swim in the last 20 years or so and must learn and start swimming coz I have hammer toes and when I run/do aerobics, I land up with callouses on my toes!

once I take those lessons, I am planning to join our local aqua jogging and aqua aerobics team

I lost 1 pound when I checked my weight this morning! I am also planning to replace my lunch with slimfast hunger control shake. (atleast to begin with).

I would love to know whats going on with you gals! You can email me anytime on :

Against my better judgement, I stepped on the scales this morning, just out of curiosity, to see if anything had changed. I was estatic to see I had dropped 3.5 pounds!!!! It seems like it has taken me forever, but I was thrilled to see that I am only four pounds away from my mini goal, which I want to meet by my anniversary on July 17. It really does help having a buddy to motivate me to exercise and eat right, and just by having the supoort there I was able to drop some weight! I can't tell you how happy this makes me, and how much seeing the scale change motivates me to go exercise right now, which I would do if I didn't have to leave to go get my kids. Good luck to everyone!

Hello and welcome!!
