Hello,

I found this site when I was reading a popular magazine. I'm 46 years old and have finally decided this is it!!!!!! Its now or never. I've been overweight since I was 12 years old and I need to make a major change in my life. I've read many of the stories written by people here and have already been inspired to get started on this. I'm not on a program of any type I'm just making lifestyle changes and exercising on my own.

I'm looking forward to getting to know alot of other people in my shoes.

great start karsta. I too just started and am looking forward to receiving support from others. Mini goals are what i am aiming for but am looking forward to reaching my final goal within this year. Hopefully you will have much success and keep up the positive attitude.

Thanks for the encouragement. Good luck on your goals. I hope we both can reach the weight we want to be. Thanks for replying. Have a great day.

Welcome ladies!! Glad to have you here with us. You'll find a lot of good people here to help you with everything!!!

I agree. The mini goals are what's gonna get us there. I have a mini goal of getting out of the 230's. Lost 35 pounds, in 5 months, then have plataued in the 230's since last September. I have the goal of being in the 220's by Feb. 1st.
I know I can do it. 5 more pounds to go.
