Curleygirl,

I am there for you!  I am a little under 5'1" tall and weigh 213 pounds.  I bought my starter pack yesterday, but will be starting Wednesday on the pills (have some prior committments to keep that will keep me from home).  I too have struggled with weight all of my life, but nothing like this.  Over the years I just have kept putting on weight.  I AM GOING TO DO THIS TOO!!!  Be there for me too, okay? 

I am so excited, I really think that we can all do it! There are enough of us to make a wonderful, supportive, group.

Me: I am 5"3' and 268. I have not always been overweight, but something happened on my way to my 30's. I started gaining and gaining. I am very busy, work full time and go to school full time, just finished my master's degree and will be enrolling in a doctorate program in the fall. I believe that in my busy schedule, I just started eating really bad junk, because it was just easier and more convienient than actually cooking a decent meal. before I knew it, here I am. 

I just had a *** reduction in the fall and lost an instant 14 lbs,( yes, I said 14 lbs) I feel as if that was a wonderful opportunity to give me a headstart on my weight loss, since the top part of me is already looking pretty good ;)

Look forward to getting to know you all better!

Curleygirl I will here for you as I hope you will be here for me.  I know I am going to need all the help I can get.  After hearing about this product I am so excited about starting.  I need to lose over 100 pounds and I know its not going to be easy but i am really going to try this time and with all my new friends in here I am sure I will be able to do it this time.  I am going to set small goals so my first goal is to lose 10 lbs and then I will move onto another 10lbs and before you know it I will be that woman I was years ago.  I have missed her.  I have 2 kids and I know that they have never said anything to me but I feel that they are embarassed about my weight.  My husband is very supportive of me, so I am ready to go.  So in the future I plan can go to Disney World a new person,someone who can fit on the rides.  So please if I need help you will all tell me how it is even if I don't want to hear it.  So GOOD LUCK to all my new friends.  Oh by the way I live in Massachusetts and my name is Cheryl.  Nice to meet you all.

Hi

I just started today.  I hope this works.  Welcome to all and let's do this!

Hello,

 My name is Deborah, I am 43, 5'6, 220lbs. I am tired of being "the big girl" . I want to feel better about myself and how I look. I bought my starter kit today and will start my pills on Friday. My goal is to drop to 140.  I already have been going to the gym but feel I need alittle more help in the pounds off department. I look forward to chatting with you all and hope we can give each other any support needed.

Hey Kat,

Did a search to find the yahoo group with no success, is it up and going yet? Keep us posted, I would love to join, the boards here are a drag, if they expect us to use them, they need to fix this asap! Thanks for thinking of setting up the yahoo group!
