i am very happy to have found this forum! i started my commitment to a healthier lifestyle about five weeks ago. i've been using the excel diet, which i found online in 2006 (and am finally putting to use). so far i've lost ten pounds and am very encouraged!
what a great resource this place is! looking forward to getting healthy with everyone here :)

:wel3fc: Hi presence - sounds like you have a good plan and are off to a great start!
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!
There are lots of people here with more to lose and lots with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.
So welcome aboard - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
