Mlpinky's Intro.

Hi! I am Mlpinky and I'm 34 years old. I have had weight issues since turning twenty. I really struggle with munching at night. I also have Rheumatiod Arthritis so exercising is a little more tricky. I would like to lose 59 pounds by my next birthday (June 29th).

Jen's Intro.

I am Jennifer and I am 29 years old. I've been overweight since I had my first child at 20. About 3 1/2 years ago I lost my first 20 lbs. Then a year later I lost another 30. I then gained most of it back between life's circumstances having my 5th child. I am a "nervous eater" and I am trying to learn how to turn to God instead of food. I just recently lost 15 lbs and I need to lose about 55-60 more. My goal would be to lose it by February 14th, 2009. That is my 11th wedding anniversary. I will be following a low-carb diet because that is what I "know". I might change program mid-course as I learn from others. For excercise, I will be riding a stationary bike working up to 45 mins, 3 times a week. Then small weights and situps 3 days a week and working up to pilates moves.

Almerry's Intro

I am Almerry and I'm 31 years old. I have been trying to lose weight for the past 3.5 years. I have lost about 40 pounds already. I have been gaining and losing the same 5-10 lbs for the past 2 years. Time to get serious again. I will be using a lower carb diet. I have done really well with this in the past. I was a pure follower of Atkins, then I had to stop eating cheese. Without cheese, Atkins can be a very boring diet. So I will be slightly more liberal with fruit than the diet allows in the weight loss stages. I will be exercising (hopefully) and doing some weight/strength training. I pray that this time, I will lose the rest of my weight.
