I would love to lose 50 lbs

[Lisa_W]

Hi my name is Lisa. I am married and have 2 children. We live in southwest Ohio.

I am determined, for the first time since i gained my weight, to lose it. By the end of 2008 i would LOVE to be 50 lbs thinner. I've never dieted before. I'm 39 years old and never had a weight problem until my mid 20's. In high school i was the tiny cheerleader that didn't even weigh 100 lbs. So as you can imagine, my weight definately bothers me. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and i'm so glad i found this forum.

Welcome.

I think you can lose the 50 lbs by the end of the year. You'll get a lot of inspiration here.

I was like you too. In HS I was 125 lbs, then after my first I was 140 which is still good for me. After my 2nd in my early 30s it was all over.

The best thing you can do is find a plan and stick with it. Do whatever diet works for you and excersise and you will be well on your way.
