newbie here
 

Found this site about a week ago and somehow missed this group. I kept trying to find somewhere to fit it and was feeling a bit shunned, so I can't tell you how excited I am that I found this group! :carrot: I put my story in the sticky above, so I won't bore you with all that. I'm just looking forward to losing this stubborn 15 lbs with your help...

Hi there!
 

:wel3fc: thisrlipo

Those last lbs. are the most stubborn. Yes, you can do this!

Yes those last 15 are a bugger to get off! Glad you found us "featherweights"!!:hug:

Hello
 

I am 62 and have been battling the same 10-15 pounds all of my life. My "reference weight" has been slowly increasing and it is getting harder to lose the pounds once I put them back on. I have a good diet and exercise program, but I blow it enough to keep me in this miserable place. I have an apple body with most of my excess fat on my abdomen, so this is going to turn into a serious health issue (like increasing risk of diabetes).

I am happy to find this group and hope the check-ins will help keep me on track.

hello! and welcome...I'm assuming you are a newbie. So am I, kind of. this is a great place to be. I have found that I have to be honest and real about my cheating...every little nibble counts and if I don't exercise at least one hour everyday it is not going to come of. maybe once it is off I can have a rest day every 2 or 3 days, but I will alway have to eat right. it's like I tell my kids, just because you want it doesn't mean that you should have it!

good luck and you've come to the right place!

:welcome: CatR :wave: ... You'll love it here join us on our weekly chad tread and the exercise and accountability thread ...

Thanks for the welcome Ilene and Thisrlipo. Thisrlipo, you are right on about the diet and exercise. I don't maintain my weight loss because of an occasional binge, but I would weigh a lot more now if I didn't exercise regularly.

Welcome! I'm also new, but haven't officially posted in this folder yet. :)

Welcome, frog! Looking forward to chatting with you and supporting each other :)

hi everyone
 

Hello!! I am not that new but, I am doing the biggest losser challenge and I find it hard to get the support that i need. I only have a few lbs to loose, and I have a hard time posting that when others have 100 lbs to loose. I kinda feel gulitly. I am not shure why. :dizzy:
So It is nice to meet all of you.

Rainlips, I know exactly what you mean - I just posted the same thing in the calorie counters thread. The featherweights forum is definitely a great place to get support no matter how little you have left to lose. Join us in our weekly chat, and you may also want to see frog's post "Does anyone ever tell you..."; it made me feel a lot better to know I'm not alone :)

:wave: rainlips (cute name btw) :welcome: to Featherweights, you are definitely in the right place....
