These pictures were taken of me 7-20-06.

I begin my weight lost journey along with all the other great people on here that have inspired me that I too can do it. I was always thin all my life until after 30, bad eating habits, a child, thyroid removed which put me 60 lbs over weght that I want to lose. I started Jul 27th 06 and have lost 5 1/2 lbs in 4 days so I am excited, I know it will probably not continue at this pace but it is a great start & better than gaining 5 1/2 lbs. With my great advisor mellowmom who has given me some great tips and information I am off to a great start. I do have a personal trainer that I have been working out with 1 hr 3 times a week-so have lost 12 lbs from that, ever see the show biggest loser that is what these workouts are like -manual treadmill with bands around your ankles, weight belt around your waist pulling a 75 lb weight behind you and then backwards-pretty comical wouldn't you say. I have worked out alot and or some all my life, I just need to get back on track with my eating habits and lose all that I have gained. I am a 44yr old single mom of a 14 yrs old son just a bit about me. :) Thanks for the inspirations and I am excited to someday be where alot of you are now. :D

Welcome!! Did anyone answer you about the weight tracker/ticker? Just go to one of the sites mentioned (like tickerfactory.com, 3fatchicks.com, etc.) and follow the directions to pick out what you like and fill in your numbers. Then they give you a string of code. Just copy that and paste it into your signature here (in your profile). It'll show up every time you post.

If you have trouble, just ask. There are also some instructions in the Web Room area, I believe.

Hey Darlene,

We all had to start somewhere, and you sound like you are in really good shape. I started flabby and am still somewhat flabby, but getting better all of the time.

I just need to make myself excercise!

You will be here right along with us soon.

Like you said, a 1, 5 lbs or any pounds down, is better than going up..

Take Care,

Sheila

Welcome Darlene!!!

You're gonna' love it here! And thanks for asking about the ticker, I was just about to do that and now I don't have to! (I'm a newbie too). BTW, I love your smile!

Thanks Robin for answering, too. See, there's a reason you were The First One I listed!! OMG, I'm just kidding (not that you're not great Robin), but I've gotten enough flak for missing people, I don't want any controversy over the order in which I named names!! LOL

Umm, I have no problem with the way you listed names. :)

Good luck with the ticker, guys. One tip: I prefer the site I use because you can just update it by going into your profile and changing the numbers. On tickerfactory (at least the last time I used it), you had to build a whole new ticker every time you wanted to change your current weight. But they're a little harder to find on the 3fatchicks site. Yell if you need help.

WELCOME!! I'm a newbie too! :D Glad to see I'm in good company.

I use a ticker from extrapounds.com (also have a blog there to blog my journey) - it automatically updates as you update your weight there.
