Hello everyone. My name is Jessica and I found this site today by googling "weight loss support sites." Support is exactly what I need to stay on track. I'm hoping I can find that here and meet some new people that can relate to what I'm going through. I really really want to lose weight and get healthy. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning my way around the site.
Hi Jessica! You've found the right place!
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 bunches of people here with more to lose and some 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!
Thanks girls! I'm very excited to lose the weight! I'm so glad I found a support system this time around. I really think it will make all the difference. Just reading everyone's stories and seeing the before and after photos is so inspirational!
