Hi. My name is Caryn. I am also looking for a weight loss buddy. I am 38 years old and  I am 5' 2" and weight 188 #. I just joined calorie count on Monday 1/05/09 and I am looking to get down to at least 130. They say I should be 123 but, 130 is good for me.  I was there  12 years ago and was VERY  happy. I am a mom of 3 who range from 21 - 4 and I am an in home childcare provider. I love my job but,  I am always home and that allows me to be  a little lazy and eat whenever I want to .   The kids seem to be always eating, so , so do I! I am just basically sick of being  over weight and uncomfortable. I am sick of not being able to wear the cute in style clothes, and I am sick of my knees and every other part of my body hurting. I am ready to loose and I think it would definitely help to have someone to speak with everyday who is going through this also. My Husband doesn't understand because he has never had a weight issue and wouldn't know the first thing about  dieting. So they don't understand how hard this is. It is not that I want to sit there and be over weight and worry about everything that I put in my mouth, but I just get sick of worrying and dieting all the time. I am sick of every January1st having to make a dieting resolution, I want to make a resolution for something else next year. Maybe something fun like more travel or something like that. So I am off to do this finally and I hope you would like to join me. You also schatzgirl. I think the more of us working together the better. I am going to do Monday weight ins if any of you are interested. I am just doing that day because that is when I started. If not we can just let each other know when we weight in. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BOTH!!
