I need to loose about 60 lbs, but that is very hard with a husband that is trying to gain weight and two boys that are 4 and 7. Everyone in my household is needing to gain. I need some help. Is there anyone out there that can help me reach my goal? I need someone to push me. I am one of those that needs personal support. I generally have good will power, but sometimes I fall off of the wagon...Is anyone willing to join me in the fight?

hey reyann2000!
I would love to be your buddy. I also am looking for a buddy for some support! I need to loose about 30 pounds. Let me know what your plan is. Mine is to start exercising, quit eating all the crap, and start eating healthy. Eating 5 veggies and fruits a day. Drink water. And the hardest.....stop eating at night. Bob Greene says you need to stop eating by 7pm. This does help the weight loss goal, but it is a toughy! Let me know your plan. We could email every morning to start our day. I have three kids. And am a stay home mom.

I can totally relate to your situation. My husband can eat whatever he wants and he stays the same. I have two girls one is and the other is 12 and she has the body of a model size 3. I tease her and tell her that I am leaving vicariously thru her i buy her all the clothes I wish I could by myself but can't. I do work full time so that makes it a little harder to schedule time for me. Let me know your plans. Mine is just cut back, try and stay between 1200-1500 calores a day, drink 8 glasses of water and treadmill at home 4 times a week. I did lose weigth years ago with this method and I lost 60 pounds. Kept it off until I had my yougest and it has been a battle since. 25 pounds from my goal. Let me know if you want to email back and forth.

Hi Reyann,

I am also trying to lose 60 lbs. I'm a SAHM (well I just started substitute teaching now and then) with 3 children. My oldest is 10 and my youngest is 2. I would love to work with you and amy and everyone else who is trying to lose. I started on Sat and did very well and then today I was kicking butt (even went for a walk in the rain) until tonight. I made chili and couldn't stop. Im an overeater. I just cant make things I like when Im dieting because I dont know how to stop (even when full). I have to rely a lot on preportioned freezer meals (which gets expensive and boring and eventually they all taste the same).

I have confidence that if we all hang in there together we can do it though.
(Everybody up from the computer and do 20 jumping jacks right now!)
