Hey everyone! I finally joined! I have passed by this site a few times and decided it would be neat to join up. I am working on losing at least 50 lbs this year, but that is not my total goal.

Ok, so I am a mom of 4, three live with me. I'm currently at home, just finished my Associates degree and going back to school. I have been battling my bulge for about 13 years if not longer. I am slowly making progress. I'm not using any particular plan as I've tried so many already. It's really a mixture of things right now. Ok, everyone, have a great day! e-mail me if ya wanna chat about all this.

Hi! I'm glad you joined! It sounds like you are super busy...I have one kid and no time, I can't imagine how you manage that AND school! I'm sure you'll be glad you joined and added new healthy choices to your to-do list, too.

Good luck and I look forward to hearing about all you future success!

Hello and welcome! I am glad you are joining us.

I wish you the best on your weight loss journey.

Cheers,

Hi NightAngel!
Sounds like you're a busy lady - you're off to a good start, sometimes it takes a little time to find what works best for 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 - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try 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!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
