I am new to this kindof thing. I need to try something new because i am having a hard time losing this weight. I want to be around for my kids in five years, and if i dont lose this weight i wont. I am hoping there are others out there that feel like this and will give support and strenght in times of weakness.. Thanks to support groups like this, i know it is possible for me to feel better about losing weight and keeping it off.

Hi, Charita.

I just started here today, too. Though I've attempted weight loss before. It's hard to do without support. I think we'll find that here.
