Hello everyone! I was browsing the net looking for something similar to a support group that can inspire me/keep me on track with my weight loss goals, and I think I have found the perfect place ;) yay. I have been checking out the site for a few weeks and decided that its time to sing..."im coming out" lol I know lame =)

I'm Shay from California...I'm 21 years old, student, mom, and ready to make a complete change. I look forward to "meeting" some great people, being motivated and if I am lucky...possibly be a motivation to someone else! so thanks for reading...see ya around. :p
 
Well...welcome! I am a 51 year old guy...started at 350 LB about 10 days ago...at 339 as of this morning...only 99 more LB to go! I find this forum helpful - if I get into that "bored-hungry" state of mind (which has been my downfall in the past), I come to the forum and get a little inspiration. I am really trying to say "this is my new eating lifestyle", rather than "I am on a diet".

I was at dinner with my wife and friends last Friday and realized I was the only really overweight person there...yeah, there were a few people that could stand to lose 10 pounds, but it was a shock to realize.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey. We'll be here with you!

Jim
 
thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement! And conrats on the weight loss thus far Jim, keep up the good work!

This site seems to be very inspiring. After I looked at peoples before & after pictures, it gave me even more motivation to make this change and I am more excited then ever to see the hard work pay off. Its going to be a complete change! YAY. My goal is to go from 280 to 150 ish.

Again thank you all for the well wishes! =D
 
Welcome! I hope this site helps you achieve all of your goals. Seeing that your my age and you are a student and a mom it seems that you are very determined. I think you will have no problem reaching your goals. Good luck!

Heck yes! I really want to become healthy and be a poitive influence in my daughters lifeonthe importance of staying healthy!

I was a teen parent, my daughter is 7 yrs old now.

I am working hard =) I just started the new semester in school after winter break so it has been difficult to find the time to exercise but I'm doing what I can! Thanks for checking in on me, I sure do aappreciate it.

OMGoodness...well so far I've been eating better, walking, and I have this treadmill/bike thing I recently have been trying...I am pretty sure I will have to add some more strenious exercises to my workout plan but hopefully I can see some results with what I am doing thus far. I have a lonnnggg way to go lol ...

What about you? How are your results coming? Any good exercise tips?


<3, SHAY
 
lol its a going =P i kinda slipped up this weekend when i got grounded from my laptop -_-" sooo i like binged and didnt workout >_> but today was a total success... i posted a list of goals i want to accomplish in the next 30 weeks... soo thats awesome... because i know exactly what i am striving for physically^^ i broke the 30 weeks up into like 6 sets of 5 weeks. and every 5 weeks i up the intensity... soo hopefully that will help me keep my calories burning pretty rapidly. =P

hehe my biggest goal of 2009 is :3 to be able to do the splits =D heheheh
