Hi everyone! I am new here, I am also kind of shy but it seems like there are a lot of nice people here who are supportive and encouraging! I decided to Join simply because I feel like no one around me really understands what its like to struggle with weight loss. I have been overweight all of my life but I have reached my highest weight ever and I really do not feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to enjoy life to the fullest and I dont want to miss out on anything because of my weight...like the title says im ready for a new life and ready to make big changes and Im so glad I found this community of people who are all heading in the same direction of a healthier person.
Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.
Hi!
I'm new here too and I'm glad you posted.
I really understand about not feeling comfortable in your own skin.
I feel like that's been a predominant feeling my whole life, or most of it.
It's time to change that, and I think we can.
Ready for a new life
