Hi, my name is Holly and I have a lot of weight to lose, over a hundred pounds, so it seems like a mighty big undertaking! I just found this site by accident but it looks great and I'm glad I did.

I really got motivated to lose weight by watching The Biggest Loser on TV. I know that those folks have the best atmosphere for losing weight and the help of doctors and trainers, but the thing I really loved was the buddy and team support. I can see that its very important, so here I am looking for a buddy and maybe a team to help me be a grand loser!

I have a very busy job and it can be very stressful. I don't have much free time because I'm also studying to be a Homepathic Physician, and I teach and team lead in a Christian 12 Step Recovery Program. I am an emotional eater and I happen to love to cook, and that is not a good combination I guess! I know a lot about nutrition and portion control but the emotions can override a good education, if you let them. I'm feeling very excited about this place and I hope I'll be able to encourage and help someone else along the way too!
