It's time...
 

...for me to lose some weight. Hello, my name is Maggie. I've struggled with excess weight all my life and during college, went through a bout of distorted eating habits bordering on anorexia and bulimia. Now at 42, a little wiser (I hope ;)) and realizing that it is more than just wanting to look thinner, I have decided it is time to get moving and get healthy. I hope to get support, give some and have a few laughs along the way.

Hi and Welcome, Maggie!

I'm so glad you've decided it is time to focus on being HEALTHY, not just looking thin. And this is a great place to find all kinds of support for that goal, as well as a few laughs and a lot of fun.

:welcome:

Can't wait to hear more from you and get to know you better!

Thank you, mandalinn82! Feeling the warm fuzzies already.

hi MaggieJ! welcome. i've just been a member for a few days and already feel at home. i'm like you and want to get thinner in a healthy way.

if you're looking for a support group, some of us newbies just started one. we had a thread going here in Introductions (called 'Looking for serious diet buddies' if you want to read it). but we just started a new thread and named it Sexy Chicks (Beautiful women losing weight and forming friendships). you can find us in Support Groups - Miscellaneous Clubs.

Thank you, countrygirl7902! I can definitely use the support and will be right over....Sexy Chicks, huh...love it! There is sooo much here and it can be overwhelming, so thank you for giving me a place to start.
