After a long hiatus, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Since the last time I was here, I've gained 20 lbs. Not happy I've been diagnosed with some health issues that make losing weight an even harder battle. I have all these hopes for my weight loss, but not a lot of support or motivation. I have a list of things that I want to do, but I know I can't until I lose the weight. I'm hoping to find that support and motivation here. I get so inspired when I see posts of people that are doing great. So, here I am Let the motivation, inspiration, and support begin because let's face, we all need it. That's why were here

I just read your post, and I'm at the same point in my life as you. I have put on about 50 or 60 lbs in the last year. Thats alot but I have had a few life changes that has had alot of effect on my weight. I pay for those changes daily, and Im ready to move on with my life. I also see myself doing more active things and living a more healthy life style. I feel that with the right friends to talk to and the right amount of will power <which is somthing I have lost alot of> I can do it. the hardest part for me starting.
