Just started SB today and really want support.  I want to change my life style before I am too old to care.  I live in DE but will be moving to Naples, FL in fall to be near grandchildren.  I have gained and lost tons of weight over my lifetime but have never been good at maintaining weight loss.  I know carbs and sugar are my weakness, but at times when  I restrict them, I binge on them for days with the mindset I will never have them again.  I need to find some kind of balance so this is not black and white.  I need help to stay motivated.  Day one - so far all is good.  Geri M

Hi Gemsme!

My name is Joy and I'm a 55 yr old divorced grandma who needs to lose some weight too - sounds like we have some basic things in common. 

I think having a diet buddy would be great - and I'd love to volunteer to be yours.  I don't know how to begin as this online communication is something I don't typically do. 

I guess I'll tell you a little about me - I "officially" signed up with SBD at the end of July, but I haven't even begun Day 1 yet.  I have researched the plan and believe it is the right one for me, but I have to wait until I go to the grocery store this weekend to pick up all the supplies and get started.  I know that sounds a bit like a cop-out, but I just started a new job and paying for my Cobra coverage has been an unexpected expense.  Anyway, I've worked out the budget and will begin in earnest this weekend. 

I have 2 sons, both of whom are grown and living up in the Seattle area (I live in Tucson AZ) and my oldest son is married with a 9 month old baby named Connor!  That's the sweetest thing I have in my life now and I want to be around a long time to get to know him. 

What about you?  Let me know what you think and we can get started on this journey together (oh, BTW, my weight loss goal is 160 lbs so I'm going to be on this journey for quite awhile). 

Joy
