Default New member from Southern California
Hello everyone. I came across this forum and thought I would join up. I need ideas and encouragement to help me lose weight. I was never heavy until I was about 40 years old. Divorce, menopause, and stress seemed to be the beginning of my weight gain, but it's 15 years later and I find I am out of excuses. After reading some of the success stories on this forum, I think I may have found a good place to start my journey. I look forward to all your words of wisdom.

HI - I'm also a new member from southern CA! I've been on JC for 1 week now - first weigh in I lost 3.8 pounds! But, today I really went off - I ate Valentine Candy (lots) from my 1st graders - UGH!!! I know that "tomorrow is another day" and that starts now for me! I too would like to have a buddy to help me lose forever these 80 pounds - to keep me motivated and on track.

Hi and welcome!

I'm sure you're finding lots of ideas just browsing around but I want you to remember that if there's anything we can do for you ... just ask.

Neat! I'm new and from Los Angeles too!

I'm on Day Four of my BistroMD diet delivery service and I am loving it! I have about 60 pounds to lose, ideally.

Love this forum! So supportive!
