Hello everyone

As you can probably tell by the title I'm a newbie. I have 133lb to lose and really want to have a support network going on. And by the looks of it this loos like the place to be.

I'm 22 and love to laugh more than anything in the world so I'd love to make some new friends and have a laugh whilst shedding this darn weight.

This site has such a lovely atmoshere - I really think I'm going to like it here.
Much love

Hello, I am new to this board also, I have only been herer a week. Everyonr herer is so nice and helpful. I need to lose 100lbs. As of today 04/29/05 I have lost 5lbs. I don't know how I did it, But I am very pleased. Great to have you aboard. What kind of diet are you on? i need alot more support and help from everyone!

Hi Austin...I am trying a "lifestyle change" instead of a diet...
So far Ive changed to mostly all whole/brown bread rice pasta etc, trying to up my veggie intake, and drink a lot more water...we already eat a lot of lean meat and chicken as "these parts" of the north are great for hunting...Elk meat and White grouse are my favs...Im trying to eat more fish as well
I started out using the First Place servings/calorie counter..but basically I know what I should be eating by now but the last few days have been rough.....I try to do some activity everyday..and lift weights 3-4 times a week.
So far this has been working for me...but I need to get off the SUGAR

How are things going for you?

Hi everyone, I am new here too. Been trying to lose for the 2nd time. Lost 45 pounds back a few years ago and then slowly gained it back, and 10 more pounds.
I have about 45-50 to lose. Been losing and gaining the same 3 pounds for the past 3 months. I am 175 right now.
I was so motivated the last time I lost and really didn't even think it was that hard. Not the case this time. I guess was 39 the last time I lost and I am 44 now. Getting over 40 makes it harder I think. I need to start exercising too since I know that is the key for me to lose.
We have our house on the market and we are moving so there is a lot of stress going on getting ready to move. I still would like to have 10-12 pounds off by mid June when we move.
Look forward to losing together.

Hello Everyone,
I haven't been on for a while, I Have been busy. How is everyone doing about losing weight? I have been doing well. We had a nice salad for supper. I told my husband we were eating healthy. Hope to hear from someone soon on their progress.

See you Later

Hi - another Canadian (Toronto), another new person. I'm 35, married c/ a toddler & a teenager - how's that for planning?! I've got 70 lbs to lose, but am mostly concentrating on the first 50 right now. Seems too scary otherwise. Just started today, good luck to all of us!
