Hi, I'm new! I've been lurking a bit, but I thought I would finally join. This place seems like such a positive atmosphere, and I would like to be part of it.
Okay, a bit about myself. I'm 21, and have finally decided to lose my (many) extra pounds for my university graduation (June 2010--OMG...), with a new diet and a fitness regime at the university gym.
So, hopefully I'm going to make some great friends with some like-minded people here!
Hi! I'm a lot like you I'm a college student looking to lose some weight. This site is a great resource and place of support! Looking forward to seeing you around
Hi yossarianlives!
Sounds like you ready to go with a good plan - good luck with your goals - we'll all be here to cheer you on!
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! You'll also find info and first hand advice on different plans to help get through the ups and downs.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some 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 welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
*waves* Hi!
