Hello, I have been here a time or two, but never stick around with a hectic life going on. I have lost weight on my own, and even have joined a 12 week Biggest Loser challenge at work. But it's basically a weigh in every 2 weeks, with no support as we go along the journey together, which is what I need most. So I am hoping to find buddies to track progress with and encourage as we go along!

I am 41, with 7 kids and I am just making healthy changes for a PERMANENT lifestyle change. I do best with portion control and exercise, if I restrict my foods, I only want what I can't have!! LOL!!

I have lost 60 pounds since November 2006, but still have a ways to go to reach a healthy goal weight.

Anyone want to direct me to a good support group or help me start one of my own here? Let me know! I am excited to make some new friends!

BACK, CINDI ~ it seems that you are doing pretty well already, but I do think that the friendship and support here will help you in the long haul. WOW, you have quite a large family there; that must keep you busy. We had six kids in our family and I remember how hectic it was.

Look around and just post in any thread that interests you; and stick around this time, OK ~ lol!

I'm new here too and constantly on and off a diet. You and I seem to be about the same in what we're doing. i'm at about 173 right now and going for 150, though i'd love to be 145 again! I'm 5'9" so 150 would still be great. Good job on all the weight loss you have done on your own. Hope to see you around in the forums. We can keep each other in check!

I am on and off plan at least once during a WEEK. I gotta stop that! I want to be at my goal by summer time because we are taking our first vacation since being married...for 15 years!!! Having so many small children made the thought of travel seem more like a chore than a pleasure, but now my youngest is 5 and I think we could have a great time at the beach. I want to be able to play with them and be comfortable in whatever I choose to wear!

Thanks for the welcome. I still haven't found a place to post on a regular basis, I guess I am just being too shy? But I will do this!! I will!

I'm fairly a newbie too, but it's good to see you and good luck to you reaching your goal.
