Hi, I am new and a middled aged MOm. I need desperately to loose 50lbs. I have tried everything. This seems like a great site and I feel it will be helpful. I am going to just sit back and read the threads for while.

Hi Gina! I am new too!! It is nice meeting you and hopefully I will see you around the boards.

I'm new, too, Gina - I desperatly need to lose 75!
There is alot of information around here, and I'm sure I'll run into you again!

AmySue - It will be great to get to know you on this journey, too!

Hi Gina.... I too am new and also a Gina who desperately needs to lose 50lbs. I can't believe I have let my weight get so out of hand. I am 45, married to a wonderful man and have 3 teenagers. I read Fat Fallacy and French Chic and it made so much sense to me. I have been doing this way of life for about 2 weeks and have lost 4 lbs. I know I can eat this way for the rest of my life and this has given me much peace. Now all I need is a little patience
Good Luck,
Gina

Thanks to all. I think this is just what I need to get me motivated

Hi. Gina....I'm 47 and need to lose 50 pounds too. I'm in sunny s. florida. Anyone close by? I just started WW again 8/1/05 and have lost 3 lbs. so far. I lost before on WW but I was much younger then. I have found that it's so much harder especially after trying Adkins and then putting carbs. back in. I feel as though it made my metabolism even slower than before. Any thoughts? aerodawn
