Hello.
My name is Lynn and I have been trying to get under 200 for 6 months now. I think it would help to have a buddy or 2. We could tell each other the daily troubles we are having. I am a senior and lose very slow.
Started this WOE on March 17 -02 at 260lbs and I am finally starting to see the light. I was already down to 215 and then had an 8 week stall and got so frustrated I gave up last fall and gained 20lbs back.
Started on induction again in Jan, this year but now it is going even slower.
If you also struggle to get under 200 let us be friends.

Hiya Lynn. Im Whitney. Im not trying to get under 200, but I would like a buddy! Hey Im good to talk to :-) Im at 193 now.. been on about 3 days. My 2nd Try. My 1st try was in december. I lost my will power after a while and gave up. But Im planning on sticking to it and Hey..We're trying to get about the same place.. and Like you said... A buddy or 2 couldnt hurt!!!
Hope to hear from ya! :-)

I'm with you. I'd love to get to 199, but not sure how long it will take. I'm also older (55), so when I compare myself to others it seems I'm losing much slower which can be frustrating. Would love to keep track with you...

Hi Lynn, Whitney and Fishie48,

I'm 51 and really anxious to get under 200! I've been LC-ing since 3/10/03 (this time!) and my loss has really slowed this past month--only four pounds. I know it was carb creep because I stopped writing everything down and wasn't drinking my water. So...this week I resolved to get back to basics and have done much better. Now if I could only get some exercise in every day. My excuse is lack of time, but the truth is I just plain don't like to exercise so I always find an excuse.

So I'd love to be a buddy too and we can encourage each other to get below 200!!
