I'm new here! I'm really trying to work this year on many things that I have been struggling with.... my weight being one of them. I'm hoping that this site will help me. I've already read a lot of entries and have been inspired so I feel great.

I am in a contest with about 10 women from my work who are all very determined to kick their new year off right. We're beginning a challenge beginning Jan. 4th and ending June 7th. Help me stay on track!!

Hi Slim4Me!
The challenge is a wonderful way to get off to a great start towards a helathier and happier you - 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 and inspired. 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

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
