Hi! Just a quick intro. This is my one milllllllith time trying to lose weight. About a year ago I lost 20+lbs, but it's all back. Ugh. I'm starting to hate myself and it's affecting a lot of stuff - especially my relationship with my hubby. I'm ready to be done with the yo yo stuff and get down to a weight I'm comfortable with and get back into shape. Any advice/support is greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi...just found this site today and it's already so much fun, it's hard to tell myself to get back to work!!!

Anyhow, I feel your 'pain'....I too have tried everything I can think of; from weight loss support group meetings to falling for the ads online or TV for diet pills....anyhow, I am now at my heaviest weight and the weight I delivered my son at, 4 years ago.
It's affecting my relationship with hubby as well, not to mention making me not want to do a thing, go anywhere, etc.

I'm telling myself IT IS TIME....FOR ME; to do this!!!!
I LOVE food; the temptations are HUGE, but I am in control and it is TIME!

I will be anxious to see how we do!!! Hang in there!!!!

Hi Mary! Welcome to our site, glad you found us. I totally know what you mean, I'm the same way up down up down. It's so difficult on our bodies, and mind, but luckily its great having an online family of support that understands how hard it is to lose the weight for the first time or the 100th!

There is so many different forums to look at, and alot of great information from real people on different diets. In the beginning I checked around all of them reading through chats until I decided on what I wanted to try, and then joined that chat! Everyone is very welcoming and understanding. You can do it!!

Thanks for the welcome! I know it's not going to be easy. I really do need to figure out why I eat too much. That is the key, I think. I'll let ya know when I figure it out!!!!
