Hi
My name is Laura and I am fromWest Virginia.  This is day 1 for me.  I am a mother of 3 ages 16, 5, and 3.  I am also a 1st grade teacher on summer break.  Like many of you I have tried many diets without success.  I am looking for a buddy to get me through this.  I am not the best dieter in the world :)  but I am a great listener and a great motivator.  Looking for the same.  Someone please HELP!

Hi Laura - Welcome to SB - we can all use a good motivator - these message boards really help with that.  I am definitely seek advice through these boards whether responding or not I find them very informative.  Phase 1 Message Board is a great place to get a lot of questions answered.  You will find others have the same questions you do and I learn something everyday.

Support is a definite on these boards.  When I first came on board just over a year ago, I tried to keep up on all the boards.  I finally found that I felt very welcome and comfy on Exercise and Fitness, Accountables, Phase 2, and 50+.  Look around I am sure you will find one that is just the right fit and feel free to jump in. I credit the support and advice on these boards as an important part of helping me stay on track.  You can also send a buddy message "Find a Buddy" to have more of an e-mail conversation with just one person.  I am a 4th grade Academic Intervention teacher in NY, the state, not the city ;o)  I entered teaching as a mid life career change and have been working in a small city school district for 5 years.  Welcome, you will love it here.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you.  I really appreciate your advice.  I am still looking for that perfect place in between the times my kids need me :).   I really like the idea of buddying up with someone also.

If you want to buddy up you can send me an invite from the buddy page.  I am listed as FeelingGreat140.  Hope things are going well for you so far on the beach.  You are probably done with school.  I am done next week.

Hi FeelingGreat140,

Sorry that it took me a while to get back to you.  Yes school has been out for me a for a week.  But it is soooooo busy I think I am ready to go back.  I would love to buddy up with you.  I am just so new to these message boards that I forget where I have posted messages.  I am on my 4th day and woke up with mixed emotions :(
