    I've been up and down the scale many times, and for way too many years I've needed to lose over a 100 pounds.  I'm 5 '5 and weigh 275 pounds. For about 3 weeks I've been keeping a food diary, and exercising. I exercised 4 days this last week and 3 the two before. I've lost 3.5 pounds and 8 and half inches. I'm starting rather slowly. I just got a cast off my arm last Tuesday. The doctor said that I need to wait a couple of weeks before I use hand weights in my workouts.  I really want to finally be healthy. At 16 I starved myself to a 113 pounds and didn't feel good.

  I'm a 43 yr old mom who has 125 pounds to lose. I'm only 25 pounds heavier than when I had my second and last child 6 years ago. I've done some studying on exercising and lots of studying of nutrition. Finally, I need to put knowledge in action and I'll definitely need the support and inspiration of others, especially God. I started a food diary 3 weeks ago and exercised 4 days last week and 3 the two weeks before. Beginning slowly, I walk 30 to 45 minutes and work on 3 machines along with ab crunches. So far, I've lost 4 pounds and 8 and a half inches. Since I measure head to toe that's not even a size, but I do feel better, just really sore.  I just got my arm out of a cast Tuesday and the Doctor said I need to wait a few more weeks before I use free weights.

 

 

     My name is Laura, 43 yrs old with a 6 year old girl and a 7 and a half year old boy.  I was over 282 pounds and am at 270.8 lbs. I've started once again down this road, about a month ago, this time I'm changing my life not just starting a diet.  So, it won't matter if injuries or other complications come up....I'll just keep, keeping along. I'm very motivated this time, but I definitely need support, as much as possible. I want my daughter to know that you can be at a healthy weight through eating right & exercise. I need to be an example while my kids are still young and at a healthy size. I'm wishing everyone luck & praying for us all! 

 

 

     I have the same goal as you. I'm a little older (43) and weigh more (270), but I also have a goal of 135 pounds. Many moons ago I was smaller than that, but 135 would be amazing now!! I'm also really tired of the 2X's and 3X's, it varies. I have lost 12 pounds so I'm on my way! If you don't have too many weight loss buddies  already....LAFrasier@gmail.com
