Default Hello :)

Hello!,
My name is Karyssia. I found this site while searching weight loss stories. I seen the posts and how friendly/encouraging people are and it encouraged me to join as well. I currently have high blood pressure and serious chest pains that are taking it's toll on my everyday life. I know my weight plays a roll in this so I want to become more healthy.

Thank you for reading my story.

Hi Karyssia!
How smart to make your priority health and not just a diet or a number, you're making changes for a lifetime with you precious boy - 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 and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the 20 somethings and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.

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 since last fall, 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

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
