Hello ladies,
I am also new to this board and gosh do I ever need help. I have balloon to a huge 240lbs. I need moral support, encouragement and someone who is willing to talk me out of eating all that sweet stuff. Thats my downfall(Sweets.)I use to drink soft drinks all the time but finally stopped that.My family just don't understand how I feel. I am almost 55 years old. Have 2 grown daughters and 4 grandkids. My husband is a meat and potato man.Please I need someone on my side who understands how hard it is for us to lose weight.
By the way I live in Texas. Maybe some of you out there live in this state too.I just need a friend and a whole lot of will power.
Weight to lose,
Polly C

Welcome, Polly!
My circumstances are *much* different than yours...
... single, college student, St. Louis/Louisville, don't like sweets (salt and fat is my downfall...cheese...)...

but I've found that people are supportive no matter what! I'm sure that you'll find the support and help and friends here that will guide you on your journey.

Start looking around in forums and asking questions, everyone is super helpful!
