Is there anyone on this site that lives in NC? I have tried this before but haven't been so successful.

I would really like to find someone to help me be accountable for my eating and exercise habits.  I was thinking that we could have completions where we could exercise together and call each other when we were having a bad day.  Then at the end of the month the loser could buy the other dinner, or a cup of coffee, or pay for their movie, etc.

If there is someone else, who isn't in NC, but would like to work out something similar, please email me.  Maybe for prizes we could buy the winner something (like a book they wanted) and send it to the other.

Now is the time to do something. Today is the second weigh-in and measurement day, a perfect time to join.  The team is called Birth Control Babes.  Everyone is welcome to join as long and they are dedicated, are willing to try, and are going to stay active on the team. Below is a little about what we are all about:

Why the Name?

We have all been there Gained weight due to birth control Well ladies its time to get our bodies back 

Why is this group for me (especially if I didn't gain weight because of exercise)?

This group is designed to help insure that we are accountable for our eating and exercise habits.

What makes this team different than all the others?

 I was thinking that we could have completions where we could exercise together and call each other when we were having a bad day. Then at the end of the month the winner gets a prize. I am not sure how we are going to do this yet, so suggestions are welcome.

Food For Thought

When we were young girls, so fresh in our teens
We'd go on our diets, to look good in our jeans!
And of course, at that age, we'd starve now and then
The obvious reason, was to look good for men!

Then, in our 20's, we'd push food away
To look good for the boyfriends, we chose for the day!
Our 30's, the same "sorry, cannot eat that
My guy may not love me if I start getting FAT!

Thank God, in our 40's, we've learned from mistakes
We must push away pizza and candy and cakes..
So we feel good, feel healthy, love ourselves once again
Then just sit back and laugh, and outlive all those men!!!!!
