Hi, I am a 27 yr old w/ no kids (except hubby, 2 cats and 1 extremely wild 3 month old puppy!!!)
I now believe what everyone told me about marriage weight. Anyhow, I am looking to lose 35 pounds a.s.a.p. I am 5'8 and weighing in at 185. I was very thin as a kid and into early 20's. Then military, meds, marriage, well you know, the works. It has all taken a toll on me. I am medication free, army free, and still married, but I decided DH will have to change his habits too.
Oh yeah, I quit smoking too!!! Yea!!!
I am looking for a buddy to help me stay focused and motivated. I have all the right tools and ideas. I do implement them...then the cravings begin. I think it is boredom. I know I am not hungry, but the cravings are still there.

If any of you other Chicks out there need some support and/or just want a friend to exchange info/ideas/recipes/etc... with, PM me or post and I'll get back atcha!!!

HI! I just signed up today. I have been dieting for about three months now. I had lost about 30 lbs but with xmas and holidays I am starting to slip. We seem to be in the same boat with our ideas but not following through ( thats me no follow through). I think we could help each other out. I have no idea how this site works but I will learn!

We can learn together...I guess we need to figure out each other's methods that way we can give ideas and start somewhere. Sound good?

Hi! My name is Melissa... just found this site yesterday....

Kygirl, what part of KY. do you live in? I live in Richmond....

krb, good job on the weight loss! Holidays are always hard, but just get back on track...

I have so much to lose... but I am really determined to get it ALL of this year. I don't want to look like this anymore. I hate being the girl with the "pretty face". UGH! That's not a compliment. Or "but you are still pretty..."

It is my fault that I gained weight... and it is up to me to take it off! Actually, I did water aerobics last night and made it thru the whole hour... so that's a start. And I lost 3 lbs. last week. So at least I am moving the numbers in the right direction!

Great to meet you both... lets encourage eachother! Oh, by the way... I am doing sugar busters... what are you all doing?

Thanks,
