Hi, Stephanie from Arizona
 

Hello everyone I'm new here, I'm Stephanie. I've lost a decent amount of weight recently and I'm looking for new ways and to see what everyone else is doing. Hoping to learn from the best!

Hi Stephanie! Congratulations on your weight loss. I'm new too, and this place is definitely a great place to learn from others. There are a lot of knowledgeable and, more importantly helpful, people on these boards. :)

:wel3fc: Hi Stephanie!
Congrats on your success so far - the support you need is here whether it's to lose more or to maintain - 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. Try the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation. Check out the Maintainers section for advice from those who have lost and are keeping it off.

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
