Wink Hello!! Ready to shed my "Winter coat" in Minnesota!

Hello from frigid North America! I'm starting a serious effort to lose the fat I've collected over the last 20 years. Here is to a lighter, healthier and happier new year!!

Brrrr... I'm chilled just thinking about MN this time of year (but I'm in Southern California, so everything under 60 is cold to me).

Just wanted to pop in and say welcome to you! I wish you tons of success in reaching your goals...

Hi YumYum!
I do feel much warmer here in New Orleans, even with our cold front - I'm sure you'll be successful in achieving your desire for a healthier and happier you -the support you need to get rid of your collection 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 - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them! 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 the success of my weight loss 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

Thanks to everyone for welcoming me! I think it is a most wonderful thing to have and give support for the long journey ahead! Onward and upward! (or in this case, Downward!)
