Default Another Newbie. I am looking forward to chatting with you all
Hi everyone. This weekend I decided that I must do something with myself. I am 43 years old, married with two children (23 and 17). My husband and I married in our mid 20's, raised children, and gained/lost weight together. Over the past 5 years I have continually gained weight...from 145 to my current 185. I quit smoking January 1, 2007! My husband made a change about one year ago, started running and working out. He has lost over 40 pounds and looks fabulously sexy. Next to him I feel fat, frumpy, unattractive. I want to be the sexy woman he married again. She's in there...I just need to find her under the extra 40 pounds I am carrying around.

I look foward to chatting with you all during this journey of mine.

Hi mxco4me!
Sounds like you're ready to get started with determination and a can-do attitude - 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, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and 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!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Happy Holidays!
