Hi Im Cathy. I joined this site a while back and have only been pretty much lurking the entire time. I've been yoyo dieting for a couple of years now. But now I think Im really ready to buckle down and get my butt moving. Im excited to meet you guys and hopefully make some new weight loss buddies
Currently, Ive just been counting calories and trying to cut out the junk food. I ride my stationary bike about 45 min a day. I've lost like 3 lbs on the past two weeks. It's a start, I guess.
Hi Cathy!
A lot of us start out as lurkers and most of us are experienced YoYoers, too - sounds like you're back on track and off to a great start - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on..
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 and inspired. Try the Calorie Counters and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.
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 since last fall, 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.
So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
Why Hellooooo there! Newbie here... sort of.
Im excited to meet you guys and hopefully make some new weight loss buddies
