Question newbie

Hello, I'm new! I got on the scale this morning for the first time in awhile and couldn't believe my eyes! How did I come to weigh this much? Well, I have a 5 yr old grandbaby and another on the way, and I cannot be this heavy and play ball with them. So, my first goal is to lose 20 pounds by the first of the year. I live alone and could really use some support.

Hi paddykakes!
We've all had that life changing moment of shock, horror and denial - but now we're 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 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 - you 've found the right place -you can definitely do this - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
