I'm new here, too!

I am totally new to this site, but not to the world of losing weight. I have 80 lbs. I would like to lose. I will be applying for a medical assistant program this month, but really, who wants to go to a healthcare provider that is overweight? My doctor suggested that I join WW but due to the cost I cannot. I belong to a gym and would rather keep that expense. I am hoping to find support here for this battle, as my family does not understand my struggle. They say, well, no one is forcing you to eat.:( Maybe this will be the help that I need.:dizzy:

Hi, welcome and good luck. I was studying CNA and passed the class, but did not pursue the state certificate, partialy because of my weight, I just felt I couldn't move like I should, and set a bad example in the medical field.
I just count calories and exercise, it is working slowly, and I accept( on most days) that it is gong to take time to take off. I suggest reading the different groups on the board and find where you want to be, you can find lots of information and help here. Good luck again. Cheryl

Hello, welcome!
I know what it's like to have a less than supportive family. I said the other day, "I'm going for a jog tonight" and my parents were like, "how long will this diet last" :( Then, they'll bring me in a meal from the Chinese. Grrrr, it's infuriating.
Not very encouraging either!!
Everyone here is lovely, so you'll find lots of support and useful information
