Hi my name is Grace. I am so glad to have finally found a place to talk to people that are going through the same battles as I have been. I am looking forward to talking to anyone that can support me or would be in need of my support. I have been struggling with weight loss my whole life. At the beginning of this year, after building a coop for my chickens with my dad, we took a picture together. When I saw that picture I realized I had hit rock bottom. I buckled down and lost 15 pounds in about 2 1/2 months. But then I plateaued and I need motivation again. I have a gym membership right now but I walk around like a lost puppy once I get inside. Well, long story short, I'm excited to start this journey!

Hello! It's nice to meet you, Grace.

I've only been here for 7 weeks or so, but the site really helps me stay focused and on track. I get great advice and support here and there are so many different sections that you're sure to find one that fits your needs.

Good luck to you!

Hi Grace!
Congrats on your success so far - you have a really great start & sound like you're back on track and ready to go - I'm sure you'll achieve your goal before you know it and 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, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different plans to help get you 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!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I am so excited about all of this I even woke up early this morning and started doing some Pilates (but then the puppy woke up and my day was no longer mine). I'll try again tonight though! Happy Monday to you all!
