I'm so glad that I came across this thread because it is exactly how I've been feeling this weekend. I just made the decision to do something proactive about my lifestyle and the way I've been feeling about myself and it seems so overwhelming right now. Thanks to all of the people who responded with so much support. I'm feeling much more positive about the steps that I need to take since reading through the forum here.

Bluesparkie, Im glad you were able to relate and get inspiration from all thiss..... I few weeks ago I was so depressed about all the weight but that quickly changed... This forum has helped tremendously. It helps to keep you focused and on track....I still have a long way to go until I get to goal but Im certain I found the right place to help me along.......

Thank you ladies and gents!
