Hi Everyone..I live in New York and am looking for a weight loss pal...I need to lose about 41 pounds...I have done it twice before(after each pregnancy) and just had my third baby 8 months ago. I am starting South Beach tomorrow and go to Curves 3-4 times each week. I am truly a stress eater and am currently under quite a bit of stress due to family health issues..Losing this weight will help me feel healthier and be a healthier role model for my children....anyone in a similar situation?

goal: 41 pounds

Hi Aimee - I'm new as well - and haven't even set my goal yet! I guess I should start with something manageable - say 50 lbs. I need to lose more than that, but it's a start!

I'm a mom of three - Amanda - 13, Emily - 11 & Isaac 21 months. I want to be a better role model for my kids - especially my girls as they're entering their toughest years! I know I sure wouldn't want to relive my teen years - lol!

I have thought about joining curves, but the one in our town is only open from 7 am to 7 pm. I'm a licensed child care provider and have kids all during that time, so it's not an option for me. Have you purchased any equipement for home? I haven't and am curious about what people like.
