I just joined today and thought I would introduce myself.

My name is Casie and I'm a food addict (Hi Casie.....)

I started the LA Weight loss program Monday the 21st and lost 6 pounds during the take-off phase. Lost another 1 lb. after than, then gained it right back over the long weekend! UGH. Following the program with a vengence all week this week so I'm anxious to see what my weigh-in results are tomorrow.

Anyway, a little bit about me:

30 something Mom of 2 who's engaged to the most wonderful man on the planet. Wedding is March 17th (St' Patty's day) at the beach. I met him a year and a half ago when I weighed about 220 lbs (my profile pic reflects my old weight. I haven't had a pic taken of me since then). and 4 months after that my Dad died suddenly. Depression set it, I started working 2 jobs, my tennis game all but ended short of no time to play (avid tennis player) and over the year I have gained 60+ pounds. He proposed May 17th and I started LAWL on the 21st. I vow to lose 90 lbs. by March 17th if it kills me. I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of being fat. I'm tired of wondering what a gorgeous man is doing with a fat girl like me!

Anyway, I was looking for something like this to offer a support system and came across this site. It looks perfect! I look forward to getting to know all of you and offering friendship, support and a swift kick in the rear when we need it!

Welcome! I think that losing 90 pounds by next March is doable if you are diligent and smart about it (don't "kill" yourself!).

Hi Casie,
Welcome to the board, and congrats on the upcoming marriage. Good luck with the weight loss. cheryl

I too have a goal to lose 90 lbs by next March. Welcome and good luck, take your time and think before you put anything in your mouth.

This is a great site and it really does keep you motivated. Especially the before and after pictures of everyone and also the NSV's they experience.

I am not on any specific plan just doing my own thing. I looked into LAWL but I cannot afford it being a single parent. So I have just decided to lose the weight my way and keep track of my calories and exercise religously. I weigh in once a week and my mother keeps track of the weight and inches, this way I make myself accountable to someone besides myself, and believe me she is a complete drill sargent. Since I have started a month ago I am down 12 lbs and 14.5 inches, so it is working.

Welcome Casie,

I'm new too but I already really love it. I have to giggle at you though ~ you wondered what a gorgeous man was doing with you. Um... have you looked at that picture? You are beautiful sweetie and he's a smart man. Congratulations!

Hi Casie. I am a newbie too and also sooo tired of being fat and tired.

Just remember that you can do it...and like others before me have said, don't try to over do it
