Hi friends!

I'm Evie (emm624)! Newly 22 and newly a college grad :) I'm starting law school in the fall (well, technically August)

I am a very talkative and friendly person (which helps me feel like I stay close with everyone on this group even if I can't post ever day).

I wasn't always overweight, in fact as a child I was teeny skinny. Over the years the pounds packed on and I reached my breaking point halloween weekend this past October.

I started pretty drastically and the first 20 lbs fell off. Now I'm about 60 lbs down and could still stand to lose another 40... but yet I'm fitting in small sizes? weird!

Well, I've tried pretty much everything so I'm more than willing to share stories :)

Hey Ladies (and if we have any new guys- that's cool too!!!)!

So, first of all- this may be long- get used to it. I'm one of the "novelists" of the group. I just can't help it- I get excited, and I like to reply to everyone!!! I'm totally in love with this group and this challenge, and if you're new- welcome!!! I hope you love us as much as I do (okay, that sounded kind of conceited.. but whatever... it's cool =)!!!

Let's see... My name is Erin, Spark name- Talesedrin (from one of my favorite author's book series... fyi) I'm an actress who is currently doing the whole "day-job" thing. I don't love having to to a day-job, but I love peforming, and I have a wonderful boyfriend who lives in the worst place ever for an actress... so I compromise, and make it work as best as I can. I'm currently working two jobs, so I may be on and off a little... but I'll be back in whenever I can!!!

As an actress, looks are everything. It pretty much sucks, and although I'm not "big," I am WAY too big for an actress, and it costs me. So... here I am, trying to get myself healthy, and at "fighting-weight," persay. I'm struggling... a lot. My weight doesn't want to go ANYWHERE. It's hard, I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong- but hey... that's what we're here for, right... to live and learn. I've probably gained more than I've lost lately- and that really sucks... so I'm working on it.

I also love sweets- and TOM (time of month) kills me every month. Any thoughts would be so appreicated!

Okay! Not as long as I thought, but I have to get ready for work, Part II! Chat later!

xoxo

P.S. I'm a horrible speller, and I don't spell-check, because it takes too long. So... sorry, deal with it- I love you anyway =)

First of all, find a comfy place to sit and your favorite beverage. Let's have a little chat...

I came to be the leader of this group kinda by accident, but I try to keep us all motivated and encouraged. Thanks girls for being such a great group!!

My name is Stephanie. My Spark name is Lilmommy22. I'm a stay at home Mom of two. A daughter who's six and a son who is two and a half. I've been married for 13 years and I'm soon to be 33! I've never been really big, but have always felt overweight. After I gained 60 pounds with my son I couldn't get rid of those "last 10 pounds". In Jan of 2010 I made a choice to eat as clean as possible and see what happened.

I struggle with sweets and could use any ideas on how to overcome my wicked sweet tooth!! Eating clean for me included giving up sweeteners. I'm feeling SO much better. I've lost 13 pounds and wish to lose another five. I try to eat as clean as possible but I don't deprive myself and still enjoy my favorite cookie of all time...OREO's!

I love being outdoors and spend lots of time at the park, walking, biking, running and working in our yard. I love to travel. One day my dream is to run "The Amazing Race"!

I used to hate to cook, but now I really enjoy putting a healthy meal on the table. My family are great sports and will try just about anything. I love Sparkrecipes.com.

Tell me a little about yourself. I love making new friends!!!
