I was really excited to find this board and I hope I still qualify. I started out with a 102 pound weight loss goal and have already lost six pounds, now I need to lose 96 more.

It really is nice and encouraging to find others who have the same struggles I'm have. I look forward to shedding the pounds with y'all.

greetings poe!

i'm ruth, 29, from lexington, ky, and i'm re-committing myself to this board for like the umpteenth time.

i have about 160 pounds that i want to lose. i weighed in this morning at 301.4 (down from 317.8 earlier this year) and eventually want to get down to 140. i count steps (i used to just count as i walk but now i use a pedometer...they're wonder*full) and work hard to get enough water.

love,
ruth

Hello,
New here. Name is Jan. I am glad to have found this board. Seems to be some nice people
here. I'm about 271, & want to get to 180 & then, take it from there. I think that's a
big enough goal to start with!
Would love to eventually be 145. Right now, to get back under 200, would be awesome!
No special diet. Just trying to eat healthy, smaller portions & make it a lifestyle.

I'm with you, better choices and portion control. I have about 130 pounds to lose. Sounds daunting, doesn't it? But this is the place to do it. These gals are wonderful and have such good ideas and support. Glad you're here! Kristi :o) <><
