Hope everyone is having a good Sunday! I'm new to the site and am hoping to find lots of recipes, share recipes and encourage everyone along the way! I'm 14 pounds from my goal weight and have lost 58 pounds in the past year through eating right and exercising! I guess that whole thing about watching what you eat and exercising does work...
Hi Karen!
WOW - congrats on all your success so far, you're almost there! - 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 - can't wait to read some of your recipes. Check out the recipe forums and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.
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 since last fall, 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!
Newbie from Arizona
