Greetings!

Just a quick note of hello. I stumbled onto your site earlier this afternoon while on break at work and was completely thrilled to find this community.

I'm pleased to join and look forward to getting to know ya'll.

The long and short of it: I'm tired of dying when I should be living. It's no joke to say that each day is literally one that I won't be getting back any time soon and instead of having a day to celebrate, I'm one day older, weary and heavier for the experience.

I spend each day taking care of others and I forget to take care of myself. That needs to change and soon before I find myself the one in need of care. Your support will be a wonderful tool to add to my belt as I engage in the battle of the bulge.

Peace!

Hi BloodyMary!
There's many here who have been (or are) where you are now and know how you feel - but each began with one first step - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to see you through.

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 eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones 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!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

welcome bloodymary! you will have lots of support here. You sound like you are ready for change and there are many forums here so I know you can find some you like and can make yourself at home on. I am starting the Biggest Loser Challenge here in the spring....there is a forum for this if you are interested. I think it will be great motivation! Good luck on your journey!
