Hi everyone! I'm new to this board via the recommendation of one of the ladies from sparkpeople.com. I love that site and this looks to be just as great! Anyway, I'm 30, live in CT and am looking to lose 20lbs. If anyone would like to become email partners to give updates and encouragement, I'd love to have ya!

Good luck to everyone!
Autumn

hi Autumn.. thought i d never find one with a similar amount to lose..i ve been wandering this site for 2 weeks now in search for motivation , but instead.. after reading about people who needed to lose 100 lbs and more .. i ve actually started to feel "slim" and i ve really lost my motivation.. that s depressing...
i am 22, student... 5'7" and 161 lbs..
i ve always set my goals to 5-8 lbs and was really satisfied when i only became "moderately overweight".. this time i decided i wanted to lose all the weight i ve always wanted to lose..
looking forward to buddying up with u
ps: i am single... mentioned this cause i feel i am the only one on this site who s neither married nor have any children... i feel like an old spinster

Hi Deeyala! I'd love to buddy up with you! It's hard to get motivated when you see everyone else with totally different goals but we seem like a good match. I'm 5'4 and weigh 136 right now. I want to be down to 115 but more importantly I want to be healthy. I've definitely been eating better and that really seems to help. Why don't you email me and we'll talk about what our regimen is and what we could do to motivate each other?

ps. I'm married (since this past October) and am trying to do this with the hubby but I think I need another girl who actually understands how we feel! Don't feel like an old spinster though! I waited til I was 30 to do it
