Hi everyone
I am just starting my diet as of tomorrow morning. I am currently 187lbs I would love to be like 145. I want to lose the weight for good this time.I have tried so many diets and just didn't stick to them. I have just recently stopped drinking soda and its been so hard. I am a big soda drinker and my biggest problem is I love to eat, not juke food really but I love to eat big meals. I know that I am so ready now to lose this weight Im so determined that I WILL DO IT!!! I found this sight and thought it was perfect for me to get the motivation from people who are like me and need help from friends!

Hi dream2bthin!
Sounds like you're ready to get going with a can-do attitude -the support you need is here - you can do this - and 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! There's also info and first hand advice on different plans to help choose the right one for you and 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 few months 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!
