Hi peeps, I just joined this group hoping to meet some nice folk to keep me company on this weight loss journey.
I'm Sara, 34 years old, recent mum of 2, wanting to get fit for my kids and my own health.
I started 10 days ago at 221 lbs (100kg) and have lost 8 lbs (3.6kg) already, so chuffed with that. However my goal is to lose about 65 lbs by my 35th birthday, in May 2012, so nice and easy.
I'd love to hear what your goals and progress are and hear a bit about you, I really think the support is a big motivating factor!

Hey Sara, I'm Jenny. I turn 30 next week and I currently weigh 196lbs. I would love to be at a much healthier weight of 140-145lbs.
I just had my third son, so I'm working hard to get my body back in shape. Nice to meet you and good luck on your journey.

Hi Jenny, nice to hear from you and congratulations on your 3 boys! You must have your hands full! I know I do...
I nevertheless managed to sign up to my local gym on Thursday and attended a spinning class. It was hell. Lol. But I have found a gym buddy which really helps.
Today my eldest son - he's almost 2 - helped me make pancakes for breakfast. He was so cute. I was doing it as a "treat" but it turns out they had less calories than my usual breakfast of muesli. Ha!

Hello everyone. Nice to meet you :0 I am new to weight loss and diet. And I would be glad to hear any advice or input from you guys. Thank you so much.

Advice I would give is to be patient and consistent. I have been doing it 6 weeks and have lost 5 pounds. But I have pretty much been able to eat what I want so it has not been to bad at all. I just plan ahead and don't stuff myself. No guilt. Vegetables fill you up with lots of nutrients and not a lot of calories so if you want pizza for supper, eat lighter at lunch. I have been eating salads or lean cuisines or wright watchers for lunch because I like them. Also my husband is doing it with me!
