Hello all!

I've only just found this forum and am looking forward to learning lots from everyone here.

I've put on a great deal of weight since having my children and I am now ready to get back to my previously healthy self.

I've been doing Body for Life since October, I start my final week of the 12 week challenge, next week. I have really enjoyed it, the working out and the meals and I've lost 23lbs and gone down 2 dress sizes in that time. I've still got a long way to go, I'll probably have to do at least 3 cycles of BFL to get down to a healthy weight but I look forward to the journey.

Welcome!

I'm a newbie too - but I really like this place, and find it very inspirational. I hope you will too!

Congrats on losing 23lbs!

If you have come this far, I'm sure you can go the rest.

Good luck!

Hi winterbaby!
Wow, you're off to a great start - congrats on all your success so far - 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!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
