  • Howdy all!

    Hi I'm Tami from SC.
    I was following Atkins back in 2004 and lost around 40 pounds. Went to Disney Nov. '04 and fell HARD off the Atkins' wagon. During 2005 I gained all my weight back and then some!
    I turned 39 this past Friday and I want to turn my weight and lifestyle around before I reach 40.
    I weighed in at 299.5 last Friday and almost fell off the scale! EEK!! I've been getting on the scale every day and need to stop that but I have lost about 4.5 lbs so far.
    I hope to loose at least 100 lbs by Feb 10, 2007 my 40th birthday. I'm going to keep my goals small. I've broken it down into 8 lbs a month goals/40 lbs by the time we move this summer goal/and the 100 lbs by 40th b~day goal. After that I will worry about the remaining weight I need to lose to get down to the 150-160 range. That is still a little heavy for my 5'4" frame but I will fill like a Superstar at that weight! LOL
    Another big goal I need to do is EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE! I am so bad about getting motivated and to get going on my exercise. I have the Walk away the pounds tape and the Biggest Loser exercise tape which I love both. But I talk myself out of doing them every day. I know the biggest key to my success will be to increase my activity but here I sit yet again in front of the computer!
    Cheers and here is to another Low Carb day!

        Welcome to the board. I just came back to the board yesterday. I also have my goals in 40 pound sections. Each 40 pounds represents 1/4 of the weight I need to lose.

              I'm in Tupelo. about 2.5 hours north of Meridian. I was born in Gulfport though, and most of my family still lives there.

                  Hey we share a Birthday! I turned 27 on Feb 10, and I even got more depressed. But let me tell you girl, you are in the right place. This forum rocks, and you'll see how much better we will look on our next birthday. I weigh about the same as you, so it is a long road ahead, but just stick to this forum and you'll see. I am looking forward to joining a bootcamp, how bout you? I just dont how, lol!

                    WELCOME

                    We are a lot a like. I'm 5' 3.5" and weighed in at 305 today. My first day. I will be 37 in March and am working towards similar goals. I don't want to worry about weighing 114 pounds now. I just want to weigh 250- then 205- a 100 pound loss- Shoot I'd feel like a Million Bucks. Once I get there, I will work on the rest.

                    You've got a great bunch of people here. They have been great to me so far and I have learned that we are all here together to get this done and to support and offer love and hugs to one another.

                    I am looking forward to getting to know you and to getting skinny with the rest of us

                              Hi Missx!
                              Happy Belated Birthday to you too! Ok, on our birthdays next year, come to Hawaii so we can celebrate our weight losses (and my hitting the 40th birthday) together! LOL
                              We are suppose to move in June but lately my husband has been saying it might be more like August. I told him that would just give me more time to loose weight before I have to buckle into a place seat! LOL
