Well, I still have about 80 pounds to lose, but nwo I know I'm not alone. So today's looking up. Reading the member profiles and some of the older posts made me feel a lot more hopeful and upbeat about my whole situation. Hope you don't mind me snooping.
As I said I'm working on losing about 80 pounds. I'm a married mom in the upper Midwest (small town). I have 2 kids (3 when I count the hubby), girl and a boy and a big, rowdy dog who thinks he's people.
So that's a little about me. Thanks for letting me join the party.

It's great to find people with similar interests and problems who aren't judgmental. I'm looking forward to getting to know people.

I did lose and now I just feel like eating all the time and don't want to exercise. Right now all I want is Carbs and sweets!
I love the board and find it interesting to read the posts, the people are so friendly.
I am going back on eating right, I want to lose weight, about 150 pnds. All the support will be appreciated!
Have a great night

Welcome aboard! I just love this board for support! There is a lot of conversation and interesting things to read.
What kind of diet are you going to follow?
Sussie_Q
For diet, I've been following the "6 week body makeover" diet just to improve my eating habits if nothing else. You eat protein at every meal and each of the 3 snacks. Fruit, carbs, and veggies are basically rotated throughout the day. I haven't lost any weight on it but, my eating habits are MUCH better. I'm not sure if I'm just not exercising enough or if my portion control needs work but, I feel better about myself just knowing I'm getting away from the pizza and burger diet from before.
I ordered the "Fat Flush Plan" from my library. I'm thinking about giving that one a try. Anybody have any input on that plan? It would be much appreciated.
Happy Saturday!

I did the Atkins a year ago and got tired of the diet and re-gained the 25 lbs I had lost. This time it's better, easier, and I am not craving fruit as badly as the last time. I feel a whole lot better now. I felt like I was going to die on some nights. I hurt so bad, I was really scared.
I prayed for the courage to do the diet again. I think I did it wrong the last time. I feel a whole lot better about it and losing weight. Maybe I was not ready then.
