Hi Guys!
I just wanted to say hello and I think this site is so neat.
I am a 25 year old girl who has been overweight my entire life! I feel like this body is not mine. I am very outgoing but the extra weight holds me back sooo much. I want to have the body to match my personality! Dieting is so hard. I know it is about lifestyle changes. I am like most people an emotional eater. I am VERY PICKY!! It is hard to find things I really like..but I want this to be the year for me. I want this to be the best decade ever! I am in love with a great guy! I can't wait to get married but I want to be healthy for him and our future children. I hope ya'll have some good advice and stories for me!!
I'm glad you decided to join. This site is really great and has been a wonderful resource for me. Everyone is so smart and helpful and it's really cool being able to talk to different people with different weight loss stories and experiences.
Hi butterfly!
I know it can feel overwhleming but it sounds like you're already off to a great start, your future looks bright and full of possibilities - 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. Try the 20 somethings fourm and the weightloss support forum, they're active and very helpful - also the Success Stories are a must!
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!
Thank you all for the kindness! I just figured out how to get back on here and read the replys. I thought nobody loved me! :-) I am still doing good so far!!
Hello Everybody!! I Am A Newby!!
