A little introduction...

Hi everyone,

I just posted this in the "100 to lose" thread, and thought, I never really introduced myself, so I am just going to copy and paste what I wrote there...in here...thanks for reading...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Count me in too! I joined CC on June 20, but I also go to Weight Watchers meetings. When I joined WW on April 22, I weighed in at 260.2. I have lost 22.4 pounds so far, and have about 94 pounds to lose. The weight loss is going a lot slower than I had hoped, but I really feel like I'm making some serious lifestyle changes. My hubby and I are losing weight and getting healthy together. He has lost 50+ pounds, and is driving me nuts, as the weight is falling right off him. He is much more active than I am though, and of course, men tend to lose faster than women. I have to remind myself that "this is not a race" LOL, ugh, MEN! ;)

Anyway, I love CC, this is an awesome site with awesome people, and I'm very glad to be here!

Hi! glad to have you here! Haha yes men to bite in that department *sigh* haha my little brother eats EVERYTHING and doesn't gain an ounce... however we blame it on his insulin (he's diabetic) lol... like for lunch he ate:
a hamburger
2 hotdogs
a piece of chicken
and one of those sticks with the meat on it

and right before that he ate:
cheese its
2 pieces of cake
and a icee cup

I don't know hoow he eats it all... gah! teenage boys bite! haha.... anywhooo... welcome! Glad to have you here, and congrats on the weight loss so far! that's awesome!!!

take care.

Men bite?  Who and where can I meet them?  Oh.. wait... *looks sheepish*  Ignore that.

Hihi Magaroon!  Welcome to the site!

ohh.. welcome to the site!  :)  we're a crazy bunch..

i hear you about men losing more.. but (silently giggles) my hubby and i started this at the same time in january.. and he's very upset right now because i've lost 11 more pounds than him so far.. hehe.. but i have more to lose than him.. :)

welcome magaroon!  Congrats on making the change to the healthy lifestyle and on the 22.4 pounds! 

And I'm so jealous of all that beautiful hair of yours!

Thanks so much everyone!

Welcome and congrats for making the changes. My friend goes to WW and bought me the books to do it with her. I don't have the heart to tell her that I don't like the points thing, I like it here on CC-and I don't have to pay for it. I am more confortable with counting calories than points. So...I go along with her and give her the support she needs, but secretly I am here....I read your profile and I understand what BP meds can do to you too. My ex-hubby takes them and when we met he was a stick and now... Of course not all of it is the meds it is the alcohol he drank before they found out about the BP. Anyway, you are in the right place. Just be patient and you will make it, you're already well on your way.
