Hi Butterfly,

My name is Kellie and as you can probably see I am just starting out too!! I am a wife and mother from Arkansas looking to lose about 100 pounds total! I am currently 13.5 pounds lighter and could always use some extra support. PM me if you like!! Good Luck!!!

Hey Kel thanks I would be happy to be a buddy if you like. I am a mother of three My Children girls are 8 and 11 and my son is 16. I am going to try to get up in the Am and do a work out. Wish me the best.

I can totally relate to loosing and regainnig and trying to start again. I'm 50 years old (will be 51 in Oct.) and have been trying to loose on and off for years starting with only 5 lbs when I was 16 and all that dieting got me up to 250ish -- in my 40's my life turned to choas (once again) and I gained a ton (over 290 lbs at one point).

A couple of years ago I lost a little over 100 lbs and reached a plataeu I couldn't budge (stayed between 175-180 lbs) -- so I went off the for a little while and that little while got longer and within a few months I had gained all the weight back and more (which I had done many times before, just never that much).

So in May of this year at 284.5 lbs I started all over again (goal 140 lbs.) It wasn't easy - I'm down to 258 this week. I just try to take each day one at time. I also have to watch my sodium now (doctor's orders because of high blood pressure) - so a lot of my favorite diet foods are off limits.

What helped me get started was focusing on my health -- I wanted to feel better, to be able to climb a flight of steps without needing a nap. I searched and searched until I found foods that were filling and comforting and healthy for me that I could still have on my diet for those times when emotional needs just had to be tended too at least a little with food (to avoid binging) -- like low fat chocolate pudding, baked potato with 0 calorie butter spray.

Having food in the house that easy and convenient helps. I am exhausted a lot of the time and unless the healthy food is right there that I need when I'm hungry, I'll have a hard not reaching for something fattening. So now I make sure I have fresh fruit, some frozen dinners I've prepared myself on hand, and bags of frozen veggies. A whole bag of veggies is only 130 calories and once I eat it, I'm full and usually resist any temptations.

Take it slow, make small changes are you are ready to.

Hi Butterfly,

I'm right there with ya. I'm 40 something and have been on a yo-yo diet since I was 10. WW worked after last last child was born. 4 years ago I broke my leg roller skating (trying to lose weight) LOL and have never been able to get down to my normal weight 145. I have 50 pounds to lose and would like an e-mail buddy. Anyone out there interested? aerodawn

Aerodown-

Hi there! I am looking for a buddy too. I did WW 3.5 yrs ago and got to goal for about 3 months and now have lost 13 lbs to get to my previous HIGH! Ugh! I have 332 to go now. I am motivated, excercise, but have my slippery days when the sweets are too hard to keep out of my mouth despite my insistance that they stay away from me!

I'd love a buddy too. You can PM me and we can cheer each other on. I am 35 and have an 8 yr old DD, a overworked hub who isnt around enough, and am a recent stay at home mom who will be working PT in the fall. Want to Buddy Up?

Go Butterfly- you rock! Got a reward system for exercise days to keep you motivated?
