Hi everyone. I'm Carolyn. I'm 38, a jewelry designer, a blogger(mostly reality tv, although i also started a BigFatBlog recently), a reasonably cool person fully in touch with her inner geek, and on a quest to lose a LOT of weight! Somewhere in the neighborhood of 100... Can't say for sure, i haven't gotten near a scale in about 8 years - skinny or fat. I started in tight 20s and I'm shooting for the 6s and 8s still hanging in the back of my closet.

I've been re-committed to myself for just over a month now, and I'm looking for a support group, not because I feel like I'm about to falter, but because it's just nice to talk with others going through the same stuff!

I wont bore you with an enormously long first message (although, perhaps I already have). Just wanted to stick my head in and say hi to everyone.

Hope you're all having a beautiful, successful and active weekend!

hello and welcome

this place is a great support system! Make sure you use us!

Hi Carolyn, welcome . You have found the right place to come, it is great here. Good luck on your weight loss. cheryl

Thank you both so much! I spent ages last night looking for support groups on myspace... Shoulda just googled!! Very glad to be here!

Welcome Carolyn, best of luck to you. I am sure you will do great!!!

I too, am from S. Florida. Lots of reminders of why I'd like to lose weight walking all over the beaches. LOL

See you around.

Welcome Carolyn!!!!!
