New here :-)

  • Hi Everyone,

    I've been lurking here for a few days and I'm excited to join this great group. I started LAWL on 10/22 and so far I'm down 8 pounds. I'm so excited! They originally had me on the purple plan, but just switched me to the red because I'm doing quite a bit of exercise.

    Anway, I'm Michelle. I live in Portland, Oregon. I've been overweight my whole life...you name it, I've tried it. I have about 90 pounds to lose. I look forward to getting to know you all!

  • Thanks, Evette and Nicole.

    I forgot to add that I'm a stay-at-home mom to 2 great boys, ages 4 and 2.
  • Oh my goodness......maybe you are my long lost twin....I also am a stay at home mom, and I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old, both boys. I also have 3 girls.........and they are all in school full time. They are 16, 11, and 8.

  • Welcome Michelle from Portland. We have a couple of other chickies from the Portland area here too. Great job so far!!
  • Welcome to our group!!! 8 lbs is an awesome loss so far. What are you doing in the way of exercise?
  • Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes.

    Holly-We belong to a gym, so three times a week I do 45 minutes of cardio (alternating between the stairmaster, treadmill, elliptical, and bicycle) and 20-30 minutes of weight training. I walk on my treadmill or outdoors two days a week for an hour and take two days off per week.

    Thanks again, ladies...looks like I've come to the right place for support!
  • Hi Shell,

  • Welcome!
  • Welcome Michelle! Looks as if you are off to a GREAT start!

    I joined the group in August but did not join LAWL until October. I am one of those who has to research everything before I jump in!!! With that being said, I am really glad I joined and am now starting my journey to a thinner me.

    I look forward to getting to know you and wish you best as you too start your journey!!
