Hi there,

My name is Mary and I'm yet again.....working on the battle of the bulge. I had joined U Weight Loss back in April but didn't do to well on the diet. I think I developed a mental block on how much it was costing me. A trip to the health food store answered some questions or confirmed some suspicions as to what I had to buy every week so I bought much cheaper supplements there. Still doing the diet though not consistently. I am my own worse enemy for sure. A few negative visits to the clinic stopped me going altogether. I haven't gained any weight since leaving which is great, especially as my last month there I started to put weight on like crazy. Now I just have ignore the monthly payments coming out of my bank account until next April. Oh well. On to better things.

This week I start a 10 week walking program through the Running Room with my girl friends which I am quite excited about. Gearing up for a 10km walk. I'm already walking 3-4 km 3-4 days a week with my beloved dog so am hoping the 10km with the proper training won't be such a leap.....though the last session is the week before Christmas, and I would expect it to be VERY cold. lol

I'm looking forward to chatting with you all.

Cheers
Mary

Welcome Mary. I just joined the board as well and like you have struggled with weight loss and programs.

Hopefully for both of us we will recieve the support we need and allow ourselves to stick to it this time.

Hi Mary!
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are lots of people here with more to lose and lots with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.

So many of us can relate to your story - YOU CAN DO THIS - I can tell you have the determination and the plan to be succesful with your goal!

So welcome aboard - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
