Hi! New & Not Sure WhereTo Start
 

Right now I'm the heaviest I have ever been, and very unhappy about it. I was overweight in childhood, got to my ideal weight when I was 15 and stayed there for around 10 years. In the ensuing years, my weight has been up and down (more up if I'm honest ;)). I have calorie counted and attended Weight Watchers on a few different occasions. I did have great success with WW and enjoyed the points plan, but I find with calorie counting I get a real 'diet mentality' and give up.

The few things I am certain of right now is that I want to lose this weight, and I need support to do it. I don't want to be skinny, I want to be healthy.

Welcome MsRose I'm glad you joined us.

Thats the right attitude get healthy first and then the weight will start to fall off. Be sure to take a look around the site as you will find lots of support & motivatio - good luck

Welcome, MsRose! :welcome3:
It would be nice not to have to focus so much on the "diet" part of eating, wouldn't it? :yes:
If you make small changes, they can become habits, and that will result in big changes! (if that didn't make sense, it's because I've only had one coffee)
