Default New girl - hope this works!

Just registered. I'm looking for a support group who understands the idea of losing 100 pounds. My husband is on the same journey, but guys are different, ya know? I'm halfway and I need a new boost. Do you think this is the right place for me?

Thanks for the welcome. Went home at lunch and picked one tomato, two cucumbers, two summer squash and two heads of broccoli. Anybody live close enough I can share??? I told my husband I was taking veggies to the ball field for supper tonight and he made a face. Evidently cucumbers don't stand up to hot dogs. :-)

Traci! Yes, this is the right place and I really think you're gonna love it here. Here, you can always find a nudge when you need it or someone to celebrate your victories with you. Its great that Hubby is doing this with you. My hubby is doing this with me, but you're right...a guys journey can be a bit different. Hubby can eat tons more than me and still lose 5 pounds to each of my very hard earned 1!
