I've been reading through this forum for quite sometime now, and I finally decided to join in and post. (:

My name is Jenna and I'm really excited to be here. Everyone seems really nice, so that's good.

How is everyone?

Hey there ! Good to see a newbie who isn't tech a newbie ! I've been looking around for a while too and just recently introduced myself. Anyway, thought I'd just welcome you !! Hope all is well

Hi Jenna!
I think a lot of us lurk around a bit before joining -congrats on your weight loss so far, being here will really help you to reach your goals - 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 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
