  • Welcome Joan...you're gonna get lots of support here. I don't think I would be doing as well without these chicks to be accountable to!
  • Welcome Joan!
  • Thanks for the Welcomes! It will be nice to have a good support system here to help with those low times.

    I gave it some thought, and actually did come up with a bit of a bio if you will.

    Let's see.... I'm a paralegal living in Western Wa.
    My #1 hobby at this time is astronomy. I have a 12" telescope that my husband bought for me in October and an 8" one that I built myself, including grinding the mirror.

    I have 18 dogs currently as I used to show and raise Yorkshire Terriers (most of what I have are rescues that can't be rehomed).

    Anyway, that's me... I can't wait to get this weight off I'm really excited that finally something may work!
  • Joan, Cool about all of the dogs. We breed great danes. My daughter really wants a yorkie, but I think that she is too little yet. Maybe in a few years. How long have you been on LAWL?
  • Newbie to this board
    Howdy,

    My name is Nicole, I live in Front Royal, VA and I'm a 33 y.o. mother of a 14 y.o. daughter and 38 y.o. hubby.. hehe.. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and a black angus cow that is due in April.

    I'm doing the LAWL model, but attending WW meetings.. because it all kind of calculates out on the points model and I can't afford the LAWL plan.

    I use a combination of different bars, and have a friend that lives in NC and is doing the same thing. She's been to the center in the past and is an awesome support and my biggest cheerleader!

    I had a wild binge week last week, and was up a pound, but am back on track now and hope to see some downward movement on the scale.

    I'm hypothyroid and have fibromyalgia and adrenal fatigue, so weight loss may be a bit of a challenge, but it's one that I feel I am ready for.

    So, let's boogie!
  • Hey Bunny Chick, glad to have you on board. I have fibromyalgia too. I am finding that when I am in control of the FM, I lose just fine, but when I get flared up and in pain, my weight loss slows down quite a bit. I am flared up now, for the first time since August when I started. I am struggling to get back in control, and back to my 2 lbs a week. Good luck with your losses! Come on over to the Friends and Losers thread and say hello. This is where most of the chat takes place during the day!

  • Hi all,
    I did do a post in the Feb. board, but thought I would go ahead and do a bio here. Just got done reading everybody else's and sounds like a great group.

    My name is Debbie and I live in Great Falls, MT. We've been here almost 6 years. Colorado Springs, CO is really home for us. I am 37 and have been married to DH for 15 years. We have never been able to have children and I have come to accept that. We do have 2 furry chocolate lab kids that are way too spoiled.

    I have been heavy pretty much all my life, but really gained after getting married. I lost 90 lbs. on low carb 6 years ago and have put back on 50 lbs., plus more fat because of a knee injury laying me up for a while. I am in the same clothes I was at my heaviest too.

    I basically joined LAWL to have someone to be accountable to. I just couldn't get the motivation to do it myself and also am currently paying for Denise Austin-fit for life on the internet, but haven't been to the site for a few months (gotta cancel that now) I joined LAWL on Jan. 13. I have currently lost 9 lbs. and am feeling the jeans getting a little bigger. So going in 3 time a week is keeping me true to the plan.

    Thanks for listening and I look forward to getting to know all of you.
    Debbie

  • Hi Debbie! Welcome to 3FC! Congrats on your decision to join LAWL, you will be so glad that you did!!
  • Hi all- I'm new here...
    Hi! I'm a new LA member - I've been on the plan a week now, and have looked through your posts for answers and inspiration!!!

    Can't wait to get to know everyone...I'm a 37 female, married in Texas, with 39 lbs. to lose.

    I'm really enjoying the program so far, I was skeptical at first with the cost, bars, etc. but so far it's been great. (ask me in a month when I'm dreaming of chili-cheese fries...)

    Hugs to all!
