My name is jamie. I am 20 years old and currently a business major. I have been out of high school for 3 years and have gain 60 pounds. Now I would like to lose that and about 20-30 more.

The Challenge:
My mother, my two sisters and I have started a competition.
(We are very competitive)
Its to see who can have the highest percentage of weight lose!
First month weight-in winner gets $5. (from each player)
Second month weight-in winner gets $5.
Third month weight-in winner get $5.
And overall winner gets a total of $75. ($25 from each person)
** Cash prizes could have been bigger, but 3 of us are BROKE college students. Ha!

I am here to get motivated!
Just had our 2nd week weight-in on Sunday and I have lost 9 pounds!

Starting Weight : 236
Current Weight: 227 (as of Sunday!)

And I haven't really made a plan yet. I am a big snacker. When I get out of class... Grab a snack.. Get off work.. Grab a snack. And so far I have just tried not eating as much and stop snacking. and Little exercise.

Hi Jamie!
How smart to have a friendly competition to get you all started, there's nothing like a challenge ( and money!) - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

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 and inspired. Try the 20 somethings and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some 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 since last fall, 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
