Hi, I just signed up here. I'm Pat from IL and have about 80 lbs to lose. I'm a nurse and a homeschooling mom (daughter 16) and have been so busy taking care of everyone else I guess I forgot me! yikes! looked in the mirror one day recently and think it must have been about 50 lbs ago that I last looked closely.

Hello everyone,

My name is Kat and this is my first time on this site. It seems like a really good idea and i can't belive some of the before and after pic i have seen. I am just starting in my plan to loose weight. I have tried before but never with support form other poeple. I am hoping to get some good ideas about what to eat and how to loose weight. I will be going out on my bike once or sometimes twice a day for 30-40 minutes so I hope to shift some weight soon. I would love to hear form some othe people and hear about your experiences. Please get in touch any time.

Hey, i am a newbie... and interested in some friendly competition... any one who wants to include me, let me know!!!

Hi:
I'm a newbie and a little overwhelmed with all that's on the site and how to get started. I do need to lose at least 50 lbs. Would love to connect with others, meet new people, gain motivation and support others. I need to try to start walking again on the treadmill and get my eating on track. As far as diet I am trying the glycemic load diet, which eliminates starches, sugar and keeps the blood sugar stable. I do get hypoglycemic and want to begin just feeling better.
I have 2 children a 13yo dgt and an 8 year old son. I've been married for almost 18 years.(Yikes! Has it really been that long?) I am also taking some classes gearing towards a job change in the next year or so.I'm looking forward to hearing from others.

HI:
I'm new too. I need some help with the food journal. If my net calories are negative 648 what does that mean. Is that good? bad? What? I know I had 1748 calories for the day which seems like alot to me?
thanks!

Hey everyone! I am a newbie as of today. I live in Vegas but grew up in Texas. I attend UNLV full time and work as an AmericaReads tutor part time. So, I am very busy like most of you but have a real desire to lose weight and be healthier. My plan is to eat less and move more. It will be a struggle but I really want this. Good luck to all of you!

Hi everyone! I'm Lisa and I'm a newbie! I'm 5'1" and I weigh 131. Which puts me at a BMI of 24.7. I know I'm not technically overweight but I'm not in the best shape I can be in and I don't have the healthiest lifestyle. I'd really like to eat better and improve my level or fitness. I'd like to lose about 15 pounds and develop some better healthy habits. Any support or encouragement would be great!
Thanks!
