Hi - I just signed up and really like the idea of this website. I don't know how I've missed it before. Anyway, I'm 47, fat and sick of feeling tired and hating the way I look. I've tried every diet in existence that I could afford over the past 20 years and have lost weight but it never seems to last. I want to really try and change my lifestyle this time and go at this as a way to improve my health and feel better while losing weight but not make it all about the numbers on the scale. That is what has always tripped me up before. I'll do great for a while and then the scale will only show a 1/4 pound loss and I'll think it's not worth the effort so I give it up. I'm excited to check out all the stuff on this website and meet other people going through the same struggles I am.
