Hi everyone. I am so happy I stumbled over this wonderful site. I have been reading some of the incredibly supportive replies. I look forward to receiving the same support. I have been on too many diets to mention. Through my 20's and 30's I always wanted to lose weight for my friends, my husband, my mother etc. Then my 40's came and I finally was comfortable in my own skin except for the outside package. Over the past 9+ years I have continued to gain and loose. But as my 5th decade approaches, I know that I must do something about all the excess weight (75lbs) as I want to continue to enjoy my family and life. I also want to be happy with the whole package, inside and OUT.
Welcome! You are entering an area where everyone supports everyone else. We are all on the same road to weight loss and nothing but positive feedback and support and here.
Thanks everyone for the welcoming words of wisdom and inspiration! I am looking forward to the challenge. Strange how it just happens. You certainly have to be in the right mental framework. I know that this feeling will fade at times and I know that all of you will be very important to me!
