Hey ya'll! My name is Sarah and I'm from Oklahoma!! I've lost 98lbs over the past 8 months and have another 100 to go. Just been adding exercise and cutting down on portions! I'm at a stand still right now and hope to come here for support and motivation! Look forward to getting to know ya'll!!
Hi Sarah!
WOW, you're doing great, what an achievement so far, you've come to the right place to help you finish the journey - 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!
~ You are doing really well already, but I'm sure you may find some tips on how to kick-start that stall once again. This is a very supportive place; and there are lots of great people with wonderful ideas here too. So look around, read lots, then just jump right in wherever you feel comfortable ...
