Hello,
 

Hey there,
So, I read an article online that said people who are members of online weightloss message boards are way more likely to really loose the weight, or so I'm hoping. And that's why I'm here. So "Hello," Here's a bit about me. If your interested..

I am 22 years old, I'm pretty bookish, I suppose, but i also love nature and would adore hiking, if I could only make it up that hill(im around 240lb)...I love writing fiction, and taking photos and video. I love learning about language, science, history and culture. I love to laugh, I could watch Eddie Izzard stand up forever and never get tired. I also like Law and Order SVU, The Big Bang Theory. I don't want a whole lot of tv though. I love writing fiction(as i said) and I'm in the middle of writing a book.

So before I bore you too much.
Hello, how are you?

Hi, welcome to the forums. I'm semi-new too, and this place has defiently helped to keep me motivated so it's a good place to be :D

It's pretty awesome that you like writing fiction. I write sometimes (only fanfiction) And Eddie Izzard also makes me very happy. <3 him :D

Hi WriteAway...I'm new here too!
It's true...well...IDK about weight loss but I love discussion forums like this! When I was trying to get pregnant w/ my son I joined an infertility message board and that is what got me through! I got so much encouragement and support from those women on that forum...and not to mention tips and ideas!

This morning when I woke up I got to thinking and I realized that motivation is key to weight loss. I'd love to do weight watchers but I so can't afford that right now, so I thought I'd find a forum. I'm pretty phyched and looking forward to slimming down!

:wel3fc: Hi WriteAway!
Sounds like you're an intelligent, multi-talented person with a great sense of humor - being here will make a difference in your quest to lose weight - 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. Try 20 somethings and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation. Browse around, clicking on whatever catches your eye - I know you'll be a fabulous addition to any of the forums.

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
