Hello to everyone,
I am Shannyn and I am the group leader for group 3. Please email me your info so that I can get a list compiled and sent out to the members of this group. I can't wait to hear everyone's success stories and I know that we will all be a true blessing to each other in losing weight.
I am so excited that I found this board and the members on it! Right now our group only has 2 members, including myself, so there is room to grow.
A little bit of background on myself:
I am 24 years old with 3 little boys. I have been with my husband for 6 years (will be married 6 in May) and our boys are Ryley (5), Braydon (2.5) and Ian (1.5). Pregnancy took an ugly toll on my body as you can all imagine :) I am wanting/needing to lose about 50 or 60 lbs, and that will put me back at my pre-pregnancy weight, and about a sz 7/8.
This 12 week support group will really help me stay focused, as I have a VERY HARD time doing it alone! My goals for this, besides losing weight, is to join our local fitness center with my husband and beat my son at a race :) (we raced last night and I got WHOOPED..LOL)
I can't wait to hear the stories as we all strive to help each other!
Blessings, Shannyn 1|1|Sent you an e-mail|DE01740|DESimunek@yahoo.com|08:30:51|01/12/2004|

Okay, I weighed in this morning at an aweful 210..lol I ate a decent breakfast, had a slimfast for lunch and then a healthy grilled chicken wrap for dinner with a bottle of water. So, I have to say that for the day, I have been good...Now if i can just keep it up for 12 weeks..lol
My actual weight loss goal for the 12 weeks is 20-30 lbs.
Thanks! Shannyn
4|2|Week 1 for me|DE01740|DESimunek@yahoo.com|01:05:11|01/13/2004|
I weighed in this morning at 179 lbs - yikes!!
My goal is 20 pounds in the next 12 weeks. I started on One Day Weight Smart Vitamins.
I'm also using Slim Fast products when I feel the need to snack, but otherwise I am trying
to watch what I eat and drink lots of water!!!

Just copying and pasting :) for Jeni!
Hi, my name is Jeni Bates. I am engaged to a wonderful man named Don. I live in Michigan and have all my life. I've visited some beautiful places though. I am 26 years old and haven't even had my first kid yet and im atleast 50lbs over weight now...thanks to the holidays..hehehehe! I had no idea I was this over weight because we don't have a scale and I weighed myself over my cousins house when we had Christmas dinner over there and the scale said 170lbs....I couldn't believe it :(! I know I've lost some because some clothes fit better now, so maybe its just muscle since muscle weighs more than fat. I've been yo-yoing now for a few years but am having a very hard time getting back down to a comfortable weight again. I have developed stretch marks all over me due to my weight gain, but many have faded now because I've been using vitamin e cream, and I've lost weight(I think). Having some friends and support is just the thing I think I need to get me over that hump. I remember when I was a size 5...I dont know that I'll ever be that size again, but I would be happy enough just getting down to a size where I can fit into jeans comfortably without them cutting my air supply off...hehehehehe! I really hope that I will be allowed to join?! Thanks for listening!
HuGs,

14|2|i'd like to join....sent you an email...|shelly|giftstar@aol.com|10:55:47|01/14/2004|
I currently weight 195#, I am ashamed to say. I want/need to lose 50 lbs., to start with.
I've NEVER had a weight problem in my life until the past 2 years. I am 45, a SAHM with 2 boys ages 15 and 11....and have been married to my DH for 18 yrs. this June 14th!!
I think my age has something to do with the weight creeping up on me, and I admit that I wasn't excersing regularly at all. PLMK if I can join your group....I've been doing this on my own since Jan. 03, 2004---my new year's resolution is to lose this weight!!
Shelly H.
15|3|We are happy to have you! (m)|nascar_babe|nascar_babe@hotmail.com|22:33:42|01/14/2004|
got your info and am compiling it all. :)
Thanks! 16|4|I'm joining, too!!|q_pon_queen|fiftycentsorless@hotmail.com|14:10:52|01/15/2004|
I haven't really weighed since the first of January (trying to weigh myself once a month, so I don't obsess!)
I am trying to lose 30+ (?) pounds. I want to have another baby, so I need to get this weight off!!!!! I have stuggled with weight forever. I am 27, and I weighed in at 160 on January 1st. I am married to a great guy for 4 years, and I have a 2 year old son. I am a SAHM, so the pounds come on easy when I get emotional!
My 12 week goal is 20 lbs.
I am trying to drink more water, stay away from all "empty" carbs (chips, candy, donuts--anything w/ no nutritional value), and eat smaller portions-- make sure I am really hungry before I eat. I also want to start exercising...but I need to get a routine/housecleaning under control first.
A support group is a wonderful thing!!! I am very excited! :) 17|5|Great to have you! Welcome aboard!|nascar_babe|nascar_babe@hotmail.com|15:08:17|01/15/2004|
Shannyn 18|1|WLG3 Middle of the week check in, How R U doing?|nascar_babe|nascar_babe@hotmail.com|15:44:35|01/15/2004|
Just wanted to let you all know that the email went out today with everyones information. You should be getting it shortly if you havent already.
How are you all doing at the middle of our first week? Are you still excited? Have you started working on your goals?
Keep us filled in
I have yet returned my application for the fitness center, I plan on doing that tomorrow.
Thanks! Shannyn 19|2|Have excersized for the past 13 days!!! YAY!|shelly|giftstar@aol.com|16:27:02|01/15/2004|
I'm using Leslie Sansone's walking tapes....I have the 1 and 2 mile Express....and am working on the 1 mile for now. Boy, am I out of shape!LOL!!!! But, I have to say that I've tried Atkins, and used the treadmill (at home), and lots of other things out there, and the Leslie Sansone tape is my favorite BY FAR!!! These are SO easy to do, and I love that you get more than just a walk in---you get a real workout by using the stretchy band, and the other movements she has you do while walking. So far haven't lost anything, but I didn't get a good weigh-in until about a week ago (time of month). I'm sure this weight will come off---as I know for me, it's all about excericise. I'm not on ANY diet plan...just eating sensibly, and also using Slim Fast (I LOVE the milk choc. shake flavor!) to get me through when I crave something sweet.
Shelly 20|3|W2GO!!!! WooHoo! :-) (nt)|nascar_babe|nascar_babe@hotmail.com|17:25:56|01/15/2004|
shannyn 21|1|Im so sorry I haven't been active much in this yet...but,|sweetheart|harleybabe111177@yahoo.com|18:56:14|01/16/2004|
I am going to start ....atleast try to start anyway..hehehe! The last couple days have been busy, and it occurred to me just today.........how can I be successful at this unless I have a scale to see which direction Im going in. So, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good brand or a specific scale as the last couple times we got one the scale didn't work right..it was the digital kind, and for some reason just didn't work like it was suppose to. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)!
TIA
Jeni

22|2|Hi Jeni! Don't feel bad about not starting yet|nascar_babe|nascar_babe@hotmail.com|19:02:55|01/16/2004|
as long s you start and you fel good, that is what is important. What else is important is emailing me your info...lol ;)
As for scales, i have a good cheapie that is not digital. it has the numbers that go round when you step on it. It has never failed me and works great. I think I got it at walmart for around 10.00
Good luck on your journey, were here to help
