Default First Timer...
Well, I'm a first timer to the website/board, but I'm far from a first timer on trying to lose weight!!

I am one of those people that needs constant reinforcement and support. I need to be encouraged not to just throw it all away and pick up a chicken wing or poptart!

I am 31, a mother of two beautiful children, have been married for 10 years and live in Northern California. I work full time, I hate cooking and I have very picky eating habits.

I'd love to make some friends on the board to help support me. I'm starting out at 204... not my heaviest, but far from where I need to be. I don't have a desire to be 120lbs, I just want to be able to fit in my clothes, climb the stairs without losing my breath, and not be embaressed about my belly rolls! I'm not putting a number on it... but a state of mind/health.

Hi Amanda &

You'll definitely find support here. You may enjoy the 30-something's thread area. Or join a group of regular chatters so you'll be held accountable. A challenge sounds like a good idea, too! Take your time in looking around. Post wherever you're comfortable.

Best of success!
