Default Hi Ya!

Hello everyone I'm new to this site but I am excited to get to know everyone. I have been trying to lose weight for over a year now without much success. I have decided to try some new things for me, like actually talking to others about my weight. I'm hoping this will help me.

Welcome! It's funny how talking about WEIGHT can indeed be so personal and daunting -- more evidence, if we needed it, of how skewed our culture's view of the body is! I mean, here we are carrying it around, it's there for all to see, but ----- it can be really personal and shameful to talk about how we feel about weight. In the past I have caught myself looking at cute clothes (that actually come in my size) but walking away, thinking "I don't deserve that until I lose weight."

Anyway ---sorry for that little tangent/rant (blush). You have definitely come to the right place for support and useful info. There are forums for all kinds of eating plans, exercise, etc. Hope to hear more from you soon : )

Having support is the key. Having a place to get it all out makes a huge difference. I'm new too and like what I've seen. Looks like you've come to the right place.

Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!
