I just joined two minutes ago! I have about 140 pounds to lose. YUCK is all I have to say. Anyway, the journey will be interesting, I'm sure. I will be starting a program called NLD (I took the name out because I didn't want to get flagged for advertising!). I should be receiving it shortly after Christmas. I just can't wait. I feel awful and I'm really sick of looking at all of this Christmas junk food! I was going to start a walking program, but over the weekend we got slammed with 24 inches of SNOW! Geez, who ordered this stuff anyway?! So, I will probably do some DVD's instead.
I look forward to meeting all of you

Welcome! I think it is ok to say what plan you are starting here...there are forums here for just about every type of diet plan there is....so I'm sure its ok. Good luck in your weight loss journey!
Hi JerseyPAGirl!
Sounds like you're ready to get started with a plan and determination -the support you need is here.
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's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs.
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 few months 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 - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
Thanks Leslie and Lee! Nice to meet both of you! I currently have an account on Richard Simmons' website, but it comes with a price ($110 for one year). And to be honest with you, Richard never tells about the times he falls OFF the bandwagon. I mean....c'mon, you can't be perfect every single day! I know because I battle this weight thing, too. Anyway, I've been looking for a site that's free with nice people
Oh, and the program I'm going to be going on is called "The New Lifestyle Diet". I look forward to beginning my journey with you guys!
Welcome! I just joined the forum officially a few days ago. But I've been reading these forums for awhile. It really does help keep you focused, motivated, and encouraged. Start with that first pound and just keep on going! You have a plan, the determination, and now you've found a network of support. You have all the tools you need. You can do it!
Just joined :)
