Hello everyone!
 

Hello, my name is Mary. I am starting my journy to be the thin (or thinner) person that lives inside of me. :) I am 33 years old and have been over weight most of my adult life. I have had somethings happen lately that made me decide that I need to find ME! I don't want the old me per say but I want to find the new ME that I know that lives somewhere in this body. I am not just working on the weight loss but all the other good little parts to change my life. Any support I can find at this point will be great. I really look forward to find other people who are on the same road as myself so I don't have to walk this alone.

Welcome Mary! :goodluck: with your efforts! YOU can do it!!

Welcome aboard, Mary. Like you, I am working on improving ALL of me - not just my weight. I've already found encouragement here and I've only been a member for a few minutes. LOL. One of my new favorite lines is from another member named "vdander24" "This is about more than a number... It is about my LIFE!" Good luck to you!

Welcome! You have come to a great spot. There is plenty of information, support and encouragement here. Good luck with all your goals. Looking forward to hear your progress!

Hi, Mary! Welcome to the forum! There's definitely a lot of resources here for you, including inspiration and motivation to keep you going. I can't wait to see some of your progress. :D

Welcome Mary! Definitely check out the 30-somethings forum if you haven't yet. Good luck :)

Mary- Your message touched me. I feel the same way. I heard a quote on Biggest Loser that said, "Every pound hides a piece of who I used to be." I feel that way. I am finding that happier and more fun girl I was 15 years ago only with a bit more maturity and life experiences...and I like it. Best wishes to you... keep in touch!
