Hi, Everyone!! I'm new here...I've done some lurking from time to time and been around the website for a while but never really even thought about joining until today.

I am 25 from Minnesota. I'm tired of being 'obese' and need to lose. I lost 12.2 from October to March (which was very discouraging that I only lost 12.2) and then I kind of threw it up in the air and started on my bad habits again..which have lead me to gaining the 12.2 back. Now, I'm ready again and this time I need to stick with it and lose it. I have never been small, except for when I was a kid and elementary school. I've always been bigger and I hate it.

I look forward to spending some time here with you fine people.

:Welcome: KITTY . . . so glad you found us, Chickie. Just keep reminding yourself that any loss is a good loss and never forget that it was the tortoise that finally won the race.

Wellcome from Florida

Thanks everyone! I am excited for this journey!

Hey kittykatgirl. I am 26 and from NJ. I too have been on and off the diet thing, and am often discouraged by the ups and downs (or lack of downs,) I may be thousands of miles away but thanks to the internet i would love to be your buddy!

Hi there! Welcome. Hope you enjoy this site as much as I do!
