Hi everyone, my name is Anna and I'm 37 yrs. old, married and have three children. I am currently a SAHM. I lost almost 40 lbs. last year on weight watchers and then due to finances I had to quit going to the meetings. I have gained most of the weight back and am going to start following the program at home and have weigh in once a week. I am 5'8" and currently weigh 249 lbs. My goal weight is 175. Some things that I enjoy are going to flea markets, thrift stores and yard sales. I love going to the movies and spending time with family and friends. I'm a Christian and love going to church. I enjoy Southern Gospel music and some country. We live in the country and have 3 dogs, 8 cats and 1 guinea pig. I would love to corresponde with others struggling to lose weight or with someone who has lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off. My biggest problems are: Not drinking enough water, drinking too much soda, junk food and sweets, I also do not exercise. I have asthma and right now it's just too hot to get outside and walk and I get bored with exercise bike or exercise videos. I love getting emails but since I am home all the time now I also love opening the mailbox and having REAL letters in there as well. So if anyone would like to be pals please email me at jordyn1968 at hotmail.com and put weight loss buddy in the subject line so I will know that it's not junk mail. And if you want to be snail mail pals just email me and let me know and we can exchange home addresses! I hope to make lots of new friends. Take care and God Bless!

Hello girls!!

I can't believe that my first time here and I have found so many in almost the exact state that I am in!! And all in one thread!! I would love to get in on this little buddy unit and get to know you all. It would be so great to have you all along for this ride with me and since we are all so close in our currents and goals, what a perfect team!!!

My name is Kellie and I am using Nutrisystem. I struggle with finding the time to work out and with my chocoholic nature. I have continued to slowly gain weight since the birth of my daughter 7 years ago. Recently, my father was diagnosed with diabetes (non-insulin dependent, thank goodness!) and I was found to have a heart murmur which could be affected by my weight. So, here I am. Looking for friends who are going through the same struggle and I can, hopefully, be in contact with for all my highs and lows.

I will email those who have an address listed and here is mine:

Kellie,

Thanks for the reply and thanks for the email. I will answer it here in a bit. I am anxious to get to know you and hope we can motivate each other. You've already done more than me by losing the weight you've lost so far. I've got to get with it and quit making excuses and just do it. I am miserable!

Well I'll email you later.

Take care!

Anna
