New to forum

[moonlightsinger]

Hey there, everyone!
I am new to the forum, but not the diet. When I was...oh ten or so (and way overweight) my parents decided to go through the diet, both my parents my older sister and I all lost around 30 lbs and were way healthier, but not as slim as we should have been.
Now I am two months to 17 I am about 5' 4" and weigh 157.5, this is my second time on the diet and when I started almost a month ago my weight was 166.5 so you see I have already lost around 10 lbs. My Parents are also going again, both have lost weight as well and we are all very excited.
My goal is to be 130 or so by May 2009, which is the month that the Homeschool Prom Masquerade is and I can't wait!
That being said let me tell you a little about who I am.
My Name is Rebecca Methven, I was born in Japan because my Dad is retired Airforce, but I am Scottish, Irish, German and English, not Japanese
I am a what I like to call, Child of God, because the term Christian is sometimes overused.

I am number 5 in a family of 9 homeschooled kids and love having so many siblings. They can be a bit annoying sometimes but I'm sure I can be too

I am VERY into history, art and music. I am also into writing and am about 2 months away from finishing my Fiction Romance Novel, and have many MANY more great ideas for stories.

Well, that's a bit about myself,

Cheers to you all!

Re: New to forum

Hi and welcome to the forum! 10lbs already that is great and so is the fact that your family has also started this WOE. Its always much better if you have support from someone at home and especially in the form that they do it with you! I am really impressed that at 17 you are writting and almost finished with a novel! Great accommplishement and I am sure that determination will transfer over to your weight loss journey. Hey since you are a writer you might want to start up a jountal. There are two options. One is a journal where you post but don't get feedback and then there is the journal chats where members give you feed back after you post. I find it pricesless support. I am wishing you luck on your journey! Oh and since you have already been on this WOE once before there is also a forum you couldn't joined called "second time around".

Have a great day!
