Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum and am a bit nervous about the whole thing. I've finally realized that I need support from others like me, trying to lose weight. I'm turning 23 later this month, and with the new year upon us, I really want to lose at least 20 lbs. I'm 5'4" and I'm pretty fit, but I really need help with my diet and eating habits. I hope that I can get some help from this forum, and I am willing to help support anyone who also needs some encouragement. Thanks, and I hope to hear from some of you soon!

Hey Shellrea,

Welcome to the boards. I think that you will find a lot of support here. The boards do have their slow moments. But hang in there...and the ladies are some of the most supportive well informed ladies around about how to lose weight successfully and healthily. At anyrate..come on over to the January Challenge...set your January goals and join us!!

Wow! I wasn't expecting so many replies! Thank you all so much. Right now, I'm dealing with getting my wisdom teeth out (all 4), which really limits what I can eat! But, I know once I'm able to chew again I'm gonna want anything and everything edible. I'll definitely come back here for support. Thanks again!
