first post!
 

Hi All,

I have been overweight my whole life. I am one of those people who doesn't know how to be thin... or at least has never been thin. I remember lying about my weight when I was 16 years old, getting my first driver's license. I was well over the 175 lbs that I said that I was. And, now, I'm 30 and I still haven't gotten to that weight!

I have tried many different diets, with varying levels of success. I reached my highest weight about 2.5 years ago, at 250. That was a bit of a wake up call for me, and since then I have steadily (but very slowly) lost weight. I'm happy with the weight loss, because I feel like they are due to real lifestyle changes. But, at times, I feel like I should be doing better or losing weight faster. I generally do weight watchers, although I vary in how strictly I follow the program.

I discovered this site about 3 weeks ago, and I have been lurking ever since. I am hoping that the support that I have seen here can help me stay focused on healthy eating and exercise behaviors... Right now, in particular, I am feeling a little discouraged. I haven't lost any weight in 3 weeks.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself! Here's hoping that this is another step on the path to health and wellness!

Hi and welcome. Good luck on your journey!

Welcome Hope, Glad to have you join us. My advice is to look for a Support group, Chat, or Challange to join; small groups make it easier to get connected. Most sub-forums have groups covering almost every need, find one that inspires or motivates you and just post to join.

Welcome and good luck!
