Hi everyone!

My name is Lisa and I'm 32. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm trying (yet again) to lose those extra pounds. I lost about 50 pounds, only to gain it back within like 7 months. It took me about 1 1/2 years to take it off in the first place too.

I'm not on any type of traditional diet, just cutting back, watching what I eat, cutting out water and sweets and hitting the gym.

I've lost about 3 pounds so far and counting. I've been trying to go to the gym every day. I've finally gotten used to the spinning class and I have a treadmill at home.

I would love to hear from anyone and make new friends.

Look forward to meeting everyone.

Hi Lisa!!

Join us on the week of... thread!

Hi there! I am new too. Maybe I will see ya around.

Hi Gemini,

Good to hear from you. Please tell me more about yourself.

Hi Morrili,
I just joined tonight. I'm a 38 year old French Immersion teacher in Whitby, Canada. I've been married for the past three years to my wonderful husband Brian and we don't have any children.

Good for you that you are drinking lots of water and hitting the gym. Personally, I go to my local gym 3 to 5 times a week at around 6:30 am.
Remember that slow and steady wins the race. It took some time to gain the weight so it will take some time to lose the weight but fortunately on a permanent basis.
Feel free to e-mail me if you need some words of encouragement!
Don't give up!

Hi Lisa! I'm new too. I will try to post fairly regularly and would love to offer you my support!

Can I ask why you've decided to cut out water? I've always understood that water is the best thing for us while trying to lose weight. It keeps us full...helps the body excrete toxins more often and more efficiently, and is essential to replace while working out.

Geez, I just reread my first post. I meant cut out soda!! Not water by any means. I try to drink as much water as I can!!!!!

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I guess sometimes I type faster than my brain can handle!!

Lisa,

I think that comes with the name. Are you by any chance blonde? I am, and I do that all the time! It is either that or I have brain freezes.

Hi Lisa,

Nah, I'm not a blonde, but guess I have those "blonde moments" at times!!

You're right - maybe it is the name!!
