Spring, TX anyone?

Need a buddy. It would be nice to hang with or chat with someone close to me. It's hard to deal with this alone and only having my mother in my corner.

I've been a slow loser. I was having some trouble in the beginning but getting better. I'm so close to the green zone I can taste it! I've lost about 65lbs so far.... not great, but at least its coming off.

65 pounds is great. I wouldn't put yourself down like that. I'm barely at 30 but I'm taking that 30 and running with it. Lol. Anything is better then not losing or gaining. Stay positive. Hopefully it don't take me long to reach the green zone.

30lbs is fantastic for month out! I hope you don't have to wait long either :)

I still feel like a "newbie" trying to figure things out. Lol

Yea I told myself if I'm going to do this I need to sign up for a gym. If not there's no use getting this band. I have to do my part in the weight loss as well. The band isn't going to do all the work. So I took my butt to a gym. Lol. I love the gym now.

Your so right i used to think the same way but believe me ive had one thing come up after another and it seems like i can never make it to the gym but i promised myself id start today so wish me luck lol

Oh I believe you. I was the same way, telling myself I'm gonna start walking or going for a bike ride. Lol yea never close to even of it. I know it's hard to make a commitment like that. I wish you the best of luck, stay strong.
