Newbie

Hi everyone,

I signed up on the website about a week ago after a co-worker found this great site. We are currently doing the biggest loser at work and the prize is 700.00. What a way to get motivated!! For some time now, I knew that I had to get back on the track of losing weight but you know that procrastination is a killer. This just gave me my motivation. (ahh, the power of money :) ). 

I am 5'3 and when I started my diet a week ago, I was 195.  On monday's weigh in, I weighed 189.4. Which I know was water weight.  I need to lose about 45 lbs to get to a weight that I think is healthy and not what that stupid BMI chart says!!

I currently live in a small community in Heartland, TX, which is 30 minutes outside of Dallas. I moved here from New Orleans, LA after Katrina and that's when the weight gained happened!

Well, I am glad I signed up for this website and hopefully I can get some good tips, ideas, and support from fellow members
