Hi all. Brand new to the forum, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 39, 260 and have struggled with my weight for the last 20 years. I did a casting call for The Biggest Loser tis weekend, and made the decision that even if I don't make the show, this is the turning point and I'm going to do everything I need to to get healthy, even if I have to do it on my own!
Welcome. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.
Welcome Shel -- good luck with the casting -- let us know if you make it.
I am new too -- this is a great place -- look around at the various forums, find where you want to plug in and start posting. Everyone is very warm and supportive.
