hey there, the name's HarmoniousOne, Harm for short. i'm 25 years old, 270 lbs (?) after two wonderful boys. i dont have a strong friend network here in town and i'm trying to lose weight pretty much on my own. i dont want to have to take appetite suppresants or fat-absorbing drugs. i am trying to work out more and eat better. i came to this decision on my 25th birthday last month and am already seeing results. i am eating better than i have in the past 4 years, and while i'm not having a very good week this week i have been doing better about working out. i bought myself a bike two days ago, and i LOVE tae-bo. i cant afford things like weight watchers or a gym membership. so, here i am, trying to do this for myself and my children and my husband. i want to be a healthy person again. if you are looking for a good friend online, full of humor and (i think) good advice... please, let's buddy up. i need all the help i can get as far as positive reinforcement. thanks for looking!

Hi, How great that you have made the decision to get healthier for yourself and your family! You will be making a lasting impression on your children and teaching them how to eat right. You can loose the weight without WW and the other programs. I have become an expert on how many calories food has! You are already making changes in your diet and exercising more. You can take your kids outside with you for a walk, play with them at the playground, involve them too. Bike riding is great. I have always just walked for exercise and I recentally got my bike out and started riding. I thought my legs were strong from all that walking, but then, surprise, I rediscoverd I have thighs! If you want a buddy who will be there for you I would be glad to. You can reach me at [email protected]
