Hi,
I am a 30 year old mother of 4, and I have always been a little chubby. I didn't really gain much weight after my first 3 kids but I never fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes. I started to have health problems which required me to take prednisone and that is what did it to me. I gained fifty pounds from the medication and then ended up getting pregnant again. Enough is enough time to get rid of this weight. I want my husband to look at me and think he has never seen a more beautiful woman in his life. I have never really been on a diet before and I really need some help sticking to it. I would love to have someone to go through this with, so let me know if you are looking to have a new friend. Thanks.....

Welcome! I am new also - yesterday - day 5 of the Phase I of South Beach diet. I bought the book over a year ago, but was demotivated from W.W. and just couldn't sit and read it. Now, after seeing others lose with good carbs/not bad carbs dieting, I was motivated to pick the book up and read more. So, I'm hoping for good results as I am really work hard. I exercise 3-4 days per week in classes and hope to incorporate some walking outside into that after dinner at night. I have 2 sons and work 4 days per week. Good luck!

Hi, and welcome i have been a member here for some time now.And im to looking for a buddy maybe we can help one anougher through this?

My email is [email protected]

My name is Summer mommy to three 4yr, 3yr, and 10 months, I exerce 3 time a wks for 10 mins, and i do crunches for 5 mins since im just starting with that.

Hi My name is Anna, I'm 36 and mom to three kids ages 12 1/2, 10 and 8 1/2. I am married and work part time as a receptionist. But I may be getting laid off from my job anytime, they are downsizing due to finances.

I have been a member of weight watchers since January of this year. I started the year out at 260. 4 lbs. and got down to 226 lbs. but have really screwed up lately and have gained back up to 240 lbs. I can't seem to get started back. I"ve not been back to weight watchers for two weeks. The last weigh in there I was 233 lbs. and have gained more since then. Then where my job may be ending I told my cousin who joined with me that I woulnd't be able to go back anytime soon cause I just can't afford the $12 every week and she talked to our leader tonight and she said they would work with me and if I just weighed in once a month they wouldn't charge me for the missed meetings till I was able to get back on my feet. So I'm hoping I can start losing again and get back with it and get this weight off. I was hoping to be down to about 210 by my family reunion which is the sunday before labor day but it doesn't look like I'm going to get there. But if I can just lose some.

So I'm willing to be your buddy and write on a regular basis and discuss the ups and downs of dieting as well as motherhood. So please feel free to email me at jordyn1968 at hotmail.com I check my email more often than I do the message board. Thanks alot!

Hope to hear from you soon.
