Hi Everyone,

I'm new here. My name is Lori, and I have a LOT of weight to lose... about 80 pounds to be exact.

I've tried everything.. I've done Atkins, South Beach, Ornish, Sugar Busters... All seem to work for a while, but nothing has helped me long term. I hope I can find some answers here.

I look forward to meeting all of you!

Lori

Welcome! I'm new as well.

to both of you. The true key to loosing weight is finding what works for you. Your in a great place here lots of support and motivation so keep posting and good luck!

Thanks everyone!

I'm looking forward to learning, finding the right way to really make a change in my lifestyle. I want this attempt at weight loss to be my last.

I hope I learn a lot here, and look forward to sharing what I learn elsewhere, too.

Merry Christmas!
Lori

Hey all,

I'm new to this board and very excited to find it. So far I've lost 38 pds and just went to buy a new pair of jeans and was shocked to be a size 8. Had to try on 3 different brands to make sure they wern't mismarked!! I started at a size 18 five months ago. I think I've burned my friends out because now they just want to bring me down it seems. Anyway, I still want to loose about 10 more and firm up. Just still need someone to talk to and get encouragement from. I'm a good encourager myself!! Thanks for having this board.
