I'm so excited!
 

And I just can't hide it!

So, my husband and I are on this ride together, for the first time. I'm excited because it will be so much better that we are doing this together and holding each other accountable. It's hard enough that we have 3 teenagers in the house, with very high metabolisms, who can eat anything they want and not gain weight, much like we were at their age. I can't wait to see the good results for both of us.

:welcome: to the Forum. You are very lucky to have your DH on board with you. Together you can defeat the teen appetite influence.

Thank you for the welcome, Ruth! I believe we can do it!

How great that your husband is doing this with you!

Just wanted to say hello and wish you luck. :wel3fc:

HEYYY & welcome! That's awesome that you're going to have a buddy to lose weight with! good luck to you both!

I'm trying to get excited - so far I'm not there yet. I'm hoping this discussion board will motivate me!

I'm with you - my kids all come home from school and eat even though dinner is soon...

Good luck.

:wel3fc: Hi tbmmom!
You evidently married the right guy - it will be easier to do it together ( it's the 2 of you against those darn teenagers!) - 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 - 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! :df:

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Thank you so much everyone. Lee, I've done WW before, and I know all of the basics. I've felt ready before, but I've been so weak before. I believe that with this forum, my basic understanding of how I should eat and excercise, and the support of my DH, I can tackle it this time. I'm driven! I'm excited about reading all of the success stories that exist here. It's a great place.
