Hi, I'm Laurie, 48 and single, and this is my second time on the beach.  First time around, Prevention's website had a forum like this but I'm not so sure they have it anymore.  I lost 100 lbs the first time, then a new job and stress helped me put 70 back on.  I'm really disappointed. 

So I'm back on the Beach. Committed and determined again!  And I'm glad that I decided to join today -- it's my first day as a member here.

I started in late September and stayed on Phase 1 for 3 weeks.  After a month, I'm down 15 pounds and pretty pleased with that.  I've been walking, although the weather is playing havoc with that now.

I'm hoping to find a buddy to help me stay on track and stay accountable.  Looking forward to meeting you :-)

Hi Nikki. I'd like very much to buddy-up with you so that we can encourage one another.  These pounds are so much easier to pile on than to shake off! 

I'm having a bit of a rough week this week, and my focus today has been to regain control. I think it went pretty well. 

How are you doing this week?

I look forward to getting to know you.

Laurie
