Hello! I am a newbie to the boards...
I have been looking for a support-group...I am nineteen years old, and have decided to lose weight after looking at myself and realizing I was well on my way to becoming like my grandmother...obese, unable to walk without assistance, and several knee replacement surgeries. It was a wake-up call, and since, I've lost several pounds.
However though, i hit the same snags...my family is large on the dessert-creations...cheesecakes, pies, cupcakes, cookies, candies, truffles, etc...we do it all. Needless to say, it's not easy to resist.
In any case, that's me in a brief nut-shell...anyone want to step up and say hello?
