Hi Lyric!!
I too am fairly new, found the site about 3 weeks ago, and let me tell you, these ladies are WONDERFUL
, I only wish I had found them sooner. But then again, I guess I wasn't ready.
Don't know what snapped in my brain, but something did and I have more determination than I ever thought possible. I don't consider myself- being on a diet, but more of a lifestyle change, and I'm not regretting it. I remember always saying, man I need to go on a diet, and just dreading it from the time the words came out of my mouth. But for some reason that is not at all how I feel this time around. I look forward to a new day, a day to prove to myself that I can do this and be happy. I hope that you too can find this "inner peace" for lack of better words
.
I'll be looking for your posts, because it's always nice to know that there are people looking out for you!
Again, welcome and congratulations on taking this first step!
Anyways, not much to say that hasn't been said already... have fun, stick with us, and I wish you the best in you journey
