Hello! :]

My name is Jourdan and I am came across this forum from someone mentioning it in another one I belong to.

I am hoping to learn and pick up on some good weight loss techniques. My current problem seems to be that I am stuck at my same weight that I have been at for like the past couple years. I never gain any weight and if I do seem to lose any I will go back up to what I was but never any higher (guess I can't complain about that part).

But I am really hoping to find out what works for people on here and try to apply/work it into my lifestyle. I am just getting back into running (it's been too cold outside to do this recently), and I am now starting to watch what I eat and log what I do eat, when I do.


I am excited that I found this forum! :]

Hi Jourdan!
Sounds like you're on track with a good plan - the support you need is here as well as a wealth of info and first hand advice from wonderful people.

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 20 somethings 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!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
