Well, we have ammassed a big bunch of newbies lately, and some not so new who are coming out of lurkdom. How about a brief intro from EVERYONE (New & Veteran) to get to know each other? Name, age, state or region, reason you want to lose weight, plan you are following if any, what you do for work, and weight stats (not mandatory, but good to see progerss)

I'll be FIRST!

My name is Amy, 31, NH in the White Mountains, want to be at a healthier weight before I get too old and it gets harder, plus if I decide to have a baby someday, I'm gonna gain weight ANYWAY... Low carb/Better fat plan, police dispatcher and stats are 265/157/150.

NEXT!!!!

I grew up in Natick, which is 30 miles dead west of boston, and you are about an hour on the Pike beyond that, right?

I tell you, I was EXHAUSTED just reading about your day ! All I could think of is 'how does she do it? What about pee breaks? And coffee?!'

More power to ya, sister!

(And all those sisters on the board her who juggle kids/work/school!)

Hi Ya Amy! :)

Well I just found and joined this board this afternoon and decided to hang out in this thread cause it would be nice to have support from others who have so much to lose! My name is Becky and I'm from Ohio. I have diabetes and asthma, and need to get a grip on my weight once and for all! I quit smoking on March 28th, almost 5 months ago and gained about 50 pounds, like I needed anymore weight gained....anyway It's been hard to do but managed to quit a 2 1/2 pack a day habit, yes I still have some hair left!! Heheheh! But now I am up to an all time high weight of 300 pounds and I am miserable! Hope I can get some advice and friendship cause I need all the help I can get! This is my first day on South Beach and I am having sugar withdrawls, I think?? Got a headache from h.... and feel bad but I am hanging in there by a thread. Just hoping to make it through the first day! Thanks for your post!!

Becky
