hi all my name is sue.I have been up and down with weight loss all my life.I am an emotional eater and that has always been my downfall.It doesnt matter what im feeling, happy,ad, bored or whatever, i find myself eating.Iguess i just cant deal with feeling and i dont know why,because basically i am a happy individual,especially since i retired in 06,prior to that i was extremely stressed due to my job,but then i had the money to shop, and thats what i substituted,i always have to feed my feelings with something.Ican no longer spend that kind of money so now im ating again, and i hate it.i have to do something now.i had lost 25lbs but allowed myself to gain 10 over the holidays.i have been a couch potato also. i live in northwestern pa and the weather in the winter sucks,i have seasonal affective disorder.i do much better in the summer.anyway i went out and bought myself an exercise video and started that today.i i also started counting points per weight watchers. i need a cheerleading squad to keep me motivated. please help.

    Sue,

emoticon Welcome aboard ... If you are looking for support this is the place to be. There are plenty of people in your similar situation that would love to cheer you on. Erie Sparkers has a mini challenge going each week this month ... along with the "New You Bootcamp" challenge from coach Nicole. Just look for the "New You Bootcamp & Contest" Team for all the information. The challenge is running throughout January and is a good way to jump start the new year!

We are due to get together with other Erieites soon ... but nothing has been planned yet. Watch our boards for activities in our area ... or add some activities that you hear about. Come introduce yourself to other members in our area ... we would love to get to know you better.

Hope to see you soon ...
Lynn
co-leader of the Erie Sparkers
