My name is Dana and I am indeed a newbie here. I've had a weight problem all of my life and I just hope that I don't have to live with this for the rest of my life. I was at a steady area until I met the man of my dreams last year and I have been gaining weight I guess because I was so happy. It's hard to feel good about myself or even believe what good things he says about me if I don't feel good about myself.

This is my kick-start to a new life and new life-style...and hopefully I can make a big change and all of you are a great inspiration to me. I hope to be active here (and in my own life)!

Wish me luck!

Welcome Dana! This site will give you a big boost! Just jump right in! Good luck!

Hi and welcome.

I'm glad to see that you are finding your way around the boards. Settle right in and make yourself at home. We're glad you're here.

welcome Dana.3fc is a great first step.

Welcome Dana! Check out the 100 lb Club for some of the best knowledge and support on the web. What is your plan?

I'm still working on a plan, really. I just started walking more and watching my portions for right now. I quit sodas and drinks like that and I stick to water and some crystal light.

Other than that, I haven't really formed a plan yet. I have been doing some video workout every once in awhile, but I want to find something that I will enjoy more. I've been searching the boards and trying to get ideas and motivation. The rest is all up to me.

Welcome. Glad you're here.
