Welcome to you! Its so glad to have others joining daily to this wonderful site of information, knowledge, and most of all SUPPORT! If you ever have any questions never hesitate to ask... Everyone is here for YOU!
I am excited as well to find this site. I am so tired of being tired all the time due to carrying around all this weight, I have to do it! Lose the weight and finally keep it off!
I am glad to find another newbie! If you want a "getting healthy this year" buddy, I am so there for you!
Good luck to starting off the year 2010 with a goal and a mission!
Hi MrsBusiness!
Sounds like you're ready to get started with a great attitude and determination - 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!
