Just started....50 to lose.

I only yesterday decided that I can't put it off any longer.  I found this site today.  So I'm off to a (good) start.  It's been a year since the birth of my son and he's the last one so I don't have any more excuses.  I did well losing weight before getting pregnant but that was a while back.  I just have to get back into the swing of things.  My biggest problem is sticking with it.  If anyone else is in a similar situation and needs a buddy, please let me know.

Hi! Welcome to the site; it's awesome that you're taking the first step for weight loss- it gets more fun from here since you're on this site! ^^

Not in a similar situation, but if you need a buddy/friend/somebody to rant on or keep you motivated, I'm glad to help! : )

Good luck!

Phoenix... thanks for the welcome.  I could definitely use a buddy.  I've never been one to rant but could definitely use motivational support. 

i'm not in the same situation either.. but wanted to give you a hearty welcome!!  :)  

Thank you obsidyan for the welcome.  I actually just read your shrinking post and checked out the pics.  That is great motivation no matter what the situation. 

Welcome and I too could all the buddies I can get. I have never really lost the weight from both of my kids. I know that I need to set a good example so hopefully they won't struggle like me and I also would like to get pregnant in the next 6-8 months :) If you don't mind, I will add you as a friend.

You replied in my thread so I'll be glad to return the favor!  :-D

It's fantastic that you've decided to get back on the wagon.  It's brave, too, to do it with a one year old son to take care of as well.  I find it gets harder to stick to it with other responsibilities.  You'll do fantastic!  We're all here to support you!

Welcome.  This is a great place to be when you are working on getting healthy.

Good luck!!

I've posted a lot of really great information and useful tips in this thread:

Hi Jennifer, I am just like you. I joined CC yesterday and I am tired of making excuses too. I am also trying to lose 50 lbs. Sticking with it has not been something that I have been able to do in the past. Lets do this thing together. We can cheer each other on.

I won't say Good Luck but I will say, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!

I don't think it's a matter of Luck, I think it is a matter of determination.

Hi Jennifer, I saw your response to my other post...I added you to my friends.

love, Karen

Welcome! I've been here a bit over 2 months and have 49 pounds left to lose, so I'm definitely in your camp!

Hi Jennifer. Welcome to the madhouse :)

I started out needing to lose 100.. now I need to lose.. about 59 more :)

If you have any questions, or are looking for some motivation, feel free to post and we'll do our best to answer! :)

I probably need to lose 50, but my goal right now is 35.  I need a buddy.  Lots and lots of buddies.  I will add you as a friend.  Add me too, and we can support each other in our journals.
