Talking New & Excited...but that's how I always start

Hello everyone. I'm a chronic yo-yo dieter and I want off this roller coaster ride! I'm heaviest that I've been years. I'm not a frequent poster but when I hit a diet low, I think this website will become a great resource. When frustrated or bored (yes..bored ) rather than look to the fridge - I plan to look online for more inspiration. I'm older and wiser now so I look forward to maintaining a healthy weight.

Thanks in advance for the support!

xena,
i SOOOOOOOOO empathize about the yo-yo ing, eating for boredom, and being your heaviest.
I am now trying to take wisdom from my numerous starts and stops.
I know all the stuff is TRUE about "slow and steady" and "making a new and permanent lifestyle".

I doubt ANYONE could post that it works to diet and exercise to goal, and then quit.
I have always struggled with "getting" that.

Anyway,
may the force be with you

I can total relate to the YOYO and being your heaviest, I'm in the same boat. I'm new here too, 1 week today actually and down 4 lbs. You can do it! Welcome!

I have also been down this road many times. I joined 3fatchicks forum on the 6th of August. I need to lose weight for my health and other reasons. We can do this together!!!
