Hi. I have posted a couple times, and visit several times a day! I would like to become more involved, on this bored especially. I have about 40 pounds to lose and I need a lot of support. I am a little intimidated to jump in because it seems like everyone knows each other, but I would like to become a part of that. I get inspiration from reading the post, but I would really love to get to know everyone!

So, Hello, I am Stephanie, I am 22 years old and 5'6" and 185 pounds today, doing low cal and low carb and exercising at least 20 minutes a day 6 times a week. I am a full time student and I work part time in retail. I used to be a personal trainer (never in super great shape though) and when I quit that, quit smoking and quit doing the south beach diet I have gianed like mad. I have good days and bad days like everyone here does, and sometimes I feel like I won't be able to get the body I want so badly. I really want to join you!!!

Thanks for listening!

Hi Stephanie
I'm new here too, and i know it can be hard to just jump in. I mostly most on the 100s board, but was looking in here and saw your thread. I'm the same height as you but got lots more to lose. You sound like you have a really good plan, and i'm sure you'll reach your goal quickly with it! Good luck.

HI gals!

Just jump right in! That's what we all did! The board is a bit slow right now with vacations and a lot of the ladies going back to school. Just jump in where-ever and we can get this board hopping again!
Glad to have you aboard!
