Hi everyone...I'm 31 and have been battling weight issues for as long as I can remember...this time around I feel it physically and emotionally that I am ready and can do this!!! First for me and second for my kids! I have a family history of high bp and diabetes and thank goodness I have checked out ok... But if I don't get myself under control once and for all I will be in that history too! I really don't know how much I want to lose. Like I tell everyone who asks...I will let you know once I get there! Little by little and I will get there and from what I have read this is a wonderful place to help me through this journey. I hope to meet you all as you seem to be great inspirations to each other!

it sounds as if you are really ready to do it this time. i know for me if my heart isn't really in it there just isn't any point to going through the motions. even if i manage to lose i can't maintain...and one of the most painful things in the world is gaining back the weight you fought tooth and nail to lose, but then i am sure you already know this if you have been battling your weight for as long as you say. good luck on your journey!!

Hello and

There are so many great forums here to help as you are getting OP.

I understand not really knowing what your goal is. I have put a goal down, but to be quite honest every pound I lose is better than it was before. I will be really happy to hit 199.

Best Wishes!
