Hi, I am new to this site and very excited to find it. I have been on the weight loss "journey" for about 13 months now. I've lost 140 pounds, which is great but I still have a lot more to lose. I just started a blog on another site and would love to have any of you check it out and let me know what you think. Please read my bio here first because, while I think I'm pretty funny... I could see where some might get offended. Here is my blog address, also listed on my bio. I'm very excited to join this group!

Hi, just read your blog and really enjoyed it. Your life is insanely busy!! I'm developing a menu plan that has a month long healthy menu, all of the recipes... rewritten everyday so a person doesn't have to look anything up and weekly shopping lists. I know that healthy cooking takes a lot more effort so I try to include extra food into the menu plan so a person has leftovers for lunch the next day. It,s not available for a while, so I'm not trying to make a sales pitch but since i am targeting women who work and are too busy to have to think about every meal I'd like to know if you think it would be a useful tool. Read my blog when you get the chance and let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Catherine

Welcome Catherine! and wow to the 140 lbs loss - that is my goal! :) Congrats to you!

Thanks Paula. I just got you as a friend and I'm looking forward to "visiting." Alright girl!!! I have one question immediately. I watched your demo for your book. I am so impressed and since i am hoping to market a different kind of product when I've lost the rest of my weight, I will look forward to asking you all sorts of questions later. BUT the question I have now is this.... How the hell do you have such nice tone upper arms? I know you are younger than I, and that you have less to lose but honestly, you don't seem to have any skin flab! I have been lifting weights and the muscle part of my arm is getting more definition, which seems to be making the "wings" all the worse!!! Oh well, a new kind of hell for me! You look fabulous and your demo tape was terrific. Very natural and personal (doesn't sound at all "shamwowee").
Did you check out my blog yet? Please give me some feedback if you get the chance.

Catherine, I commend you on setting up and sticking with your blog! It's a hard thing to do, putting it out there like that. I just started a blog too - http://www.anonymousfatgirl.com. I always hated the "fat" word but I figure I'm owning up to it now and it's a hard journey so what the heck, why not have a laugh along the way too. I like your title :)
