Hi,
I am here to find some much needed support. I have been trying to lose weight for almost 11 years now with little sucess. I have lost up to 40 pounds only to gain it right back again. I am getting ready to have surgery in a week and will not be able to do any exercising for a month or so, but am hoping to get on the ball and really get serious so I can be healthy again. I hope to meet some new friends and help each other out! Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

Good morning Oklahoma,
I wanted to tell u that u have my support. I have been on the cycle of yo-yo dieting for over a decade and have tried almost every TRICK out there. I know now that it is hard work and diligence that will be our tools in this struggle. Otherwise I am a strong individual in many aspects of my life. Now I am slowly taking responsibility of what goes in my mouth and my daily workout. I have lost over 100 pounds before and back again. I can make up excuses that I had a child but no excuses. I seen someone quote on here that" I WILL MAKE AN EXCUSE OR I WILL BE A SUCCESS". I believe it went something like that, well no more excuses on my part.

I actually jogged a mile yesterday at 258, wow. I was flabbergasted and still is because that was a challenge for me.

God Luck on your surgery and your continuous diligence on the road to weight loss. I am here for u!
