from this day forward
 

Hi everyone I just turned 48 and am tired of feeling bloated and sluggish so I want to pronounce from this day/moment forward to move towards a healthy slimmer me. I lost about 15 pounds over the summer and have since gained the weight back. The good thing is the loss was such a short time ago that I can remember vividly how much lighter and energetic I felt. It probably sounds strange but the longer I get away from remembering how much better I felt the harder it is for me to get back on track. Anyone care to check in with me from time to time and we can support each other and have some accountability? I don't follow a specific plan but probably tend to lean toward a low carbish diet. Although I am waiting for my Lean for Life book to come in the mail any day now once I read over the plan I will probably follow that plan.

:wel3fc: Hi jeanies!
Sounds like you're ready to get started - so many of us know how if feels to lose only to gain it back -the support you need is here - 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 eating plans and exercise 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 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! :df:

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
