I am back again.I resigned up in 2/07....but well never quite made it beyond that. I think that is probably a motto for many of us. Tommorow always seems like a better day. I am really tired of tommorows. So here I am. I want to lose wieght and feel well.I am 44 years old and have been over wieght off and on for years, I am a mom with two boys, working girl (not that kind ), married to DH for 19 years. Long term I want to lose 70 lbs . I have tried low carbing and it did work before so I am leaning that way, I also bought volumetrics and have been reading that. Anyhow... I'm Cindy and looking forward to having a group to support me and to offer support as well . Hi Everyone

Welcome, the first step is always hopping back on the wagon... as you can see from my ticker, i understand about walking away for a while and then coming back. Congrats on doing it! I'm a calorie counter myself so can't offer any real help on volumetrics or low carbing, but i'm sure you'll find all the info you need on their respective forums. Again, welcome!

Welcome back, Cindy!
We're practically twins. I'm 43, married 20 years this summer, two kids, and I need to lose... oh, I can't remember. Whatever it says on my ticker.
You're right... time to stop shilly-shallying. Let's get the weight off and keep it off once and for all!

I'm 45, 2 kids, full-time job, but only married 6 years and I'm ready too! I sick of playing around with this! I lean towards South Beach and went to a nutritionist that was all about high protein, good carb and her plan works IF I STICK TO IT!
I love what the sisters have to say about diet plans - they all work if you stick to them. That's the secret.
Anyway, I saw your intro and felt like I could relate so I wanted to say hello. How old are your boys? I have a boy 4.5 and a girl 10 months.

Welcome Cindy. I am 24 and have decided to tackle my weight problem once and for all.

Thank you all for such a nice welcome!

Blzmax-Hi!
Improbable-I see you've lost 50 lbs counting calories wow-that is great, congratulations! Volumetrics is about calories and getting more volume in for less calories ...I like that Although I don't see where chocolate works into it yet
ellis-hey we ARE almost twins! my 20 year anniversary is in the summer as well-June to be exact.
Ottoette-hi! My boys are 5 years and 14 years. My cousin is doing south beach and has lost about 30 lbs she wasn't that over wieght and looks fantastic-she swears by it. I love carbs....so totally atkins type low carbing won't work for me but South beach includes more I understand.
FoodObsessed- hi! I'm with you on tackling this excess wieght.

It's good to be here.

Welcome Cindy! and hello to everyone else also....

I too am back after joining and then getting out of the habit of coming here. I lost weight in the past and this site played a HUGE part in that. Now I've let it slip back up on me so here I am again.

I started a new thread in the MISC Clubs (under Support Groups) called
We're BACK, now lets get on TRACK. You're all welcome to join us or just drop in to say hello. The more the merrier.

I am 45 and also have two sons. (16 and 18) I will have been married 24 yrs in June. I would also like to lose 70 lbs. (My tracker is wrong, by the way...it's still one from the past but I hated to change it yet because the numbers are soooo much higher now....plus looking at it reminds me how much more work I've got to do now so it's kinda motivating) I'm actually up to 231 and want to be 160.

Anyway, ya'll drop by the thread sometime if you want. We'd love to have you join us!
