Hi everyone! I'm marathon momma and I'm ready to change my life. I'm 29, 5'2 1/2" and at least 155 lbs. I'll do an official weigh-in tomorrow morning. I would love to reach a goal of 120 lbs. I haven't seen 120 since 2001. In the past four years I've had a child and I gained over 50 lbs. and have only lost 30 of the 50. I feel so uncomforable and I'm in a position where I can't do things I want to do. I also want to do this for my husband. He's over-weight as well and I want to be a positive influence for him.

I know this will be a place where I can get the encouragement I need to be successful. I hope from now until Christmas I can lose 10 lbs. Thanks for letting me share!!!

P.S. If anyone or any group is looking for a weight-loss buddy count me in!!

Way to go on losing the first 30! It's sweet that you seek to inspire your hubby You can totally lose 10 pounds if you put your mind to it and watch EVERY thing you eat and exercise EVERYDAY (that's what I am doing and it's working for me, but I have a lot more to lose than you, about twice as much).

Hey there! I will be your buddy!
Good work on the 30 pounds lost...that is insiring itself!!!!
I am 25, and I am at 133 right now my goal is to be 125. I went throug treatment for leukemia and gain about 20 pounds. I have lost half of that but still need to lose the rest. I was very active before treatment but for uncontolable reasons had to stop. So I have basically have been inactive for a year. So I NEED MOTIVATION and SUPPORT to get me back on track. I need to start back at it for my health and so I don't get too used to being inactive also, I want to feel comfortable in my own skin...I want to feel sexy and I also want to be a postive influence for my boyfriend!!!

thanks for listening! Hope we can be buddies and support eachother!!!

Thanks Yogini and fitgal2! What an inspiration you've already have been. Just talked to DH...what a great conversation. He's awesome and has also given me the strength to do this. He talked to me through midnight. (I told myself I would have one more piece of cake before midnight, and I couldn't have it because we were talking!)

I will try to post often, but it is difficult to get on-line. Goodnight!
