Greetings! I am a newbie from Texas, anxious to FINISH what I have started, but in a way that brings me the pleasure of knowing that not only did I do it, but I love it!

I started out in April of 2008 at 227.5. I am currently hovering between 150 and 155. My goal is to hit 150 and stay there, or go a few below.

I lost most of it living a low carb lifestyle, now I am just trying to maintain it on healthy choices ( yes including grains, fruits, and things I enjoy). I like to say now that I am living on MY Plan. MY way! And I LOVE the gym!

Wife of 14 years, mom to three kids (dd =10, twin ds= 7), preschool teacher, choir in church, writing from the heart, and somehow finding time to enjoy it all!

Congrats on all your success so far!
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are lots of people here with more to lose and lots with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.


So welcome aboard - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
