New here & so hopeful
 

Hello all! I can't tell you how happy I am to have happened upon this site. What a wonderful support tool! Having someplace to talk with others who are on the same journey will, hopefully, make this process less lonely.

I not only want to be thinner but I need to be healthier! My cholestreol is too high & my sugar levels are too high - basically all my levels could be better. I'm determined to make the changes necessary to be healthy and be happy with what I see in the mirror!

We can all do this!

Welcome! I'm sure you'll find this place as welcoming, comforting, and rather addictive as I have!!

Welcome! Surf around and settle in! :wave:

Lizie2010 said it perfectly!! Yes we will get it done. :welcome3:

Welcome! This is a great place for support!

:wel3fc: Hi CD3!
Looks like you're off to a great start - how smart to make your priority health and not just a diet or a number - small changes can lead to big results, you can turn around those level problems - 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! :df:

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
