Belonging to a supportive message board was a definitely a factor in my losing of over 100lbs. When I first started out there was a few people that really motivated me and helped me stick through the tough times. Now I pay it forward.
These boards are fantastic and I'm happy to now be a part of them. Let me know if you have any questions. It is safe to say that in my 20 years of dieting, that I have been there, and done that.
