Hey ladies. I'm new to these boards and am starting the sugar busters diet on monday. I've come here for support and tips. I have about 60 pounds to lose. I'm 30 years old and want to look and feel like it.

Hey Taeotis. I'm also 30 and have just now realized how important it is to create better habits that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Good luck on your goals!

Hi taeotis!
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!

Greetings, Taeotis. You've chosen an excellent place to find support. Personally, I've found that jumping into a challenge is a great way to hold myself accountable. That, and every day, sometimes multiple times a day, I confess in the Daily Food and Exercise Confessions thread. Accountability is really important to my success, without it, I have a tendency to procrastinate. Another great resource is the success stories and before/after pictures. They're so inspiring.

We have lots of different people, but one thing I find in all of them is they are very supportive. Those who are just starting out and those who have already lost a lot of weight. You've got a great support system now. We'll help you reach your goals.

Welcome and we're glad to have you!

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome.
