... as best I can! I can never figure out what to say in introduction-type-posts.

My name is Angela, I'm 22 and currently at my all-time high of 220 - a number that I am decidedly not happy about. I've tried loosing weight in the past, with successes, but each time I fell off the wagon, I gained the weight back in surplus.

But this time I'm not going to let that happen! I'm determined to stick it out, and finally get my eating habits in check. I think it'll be different this time, since it's the first time I've made the decision to do it myself, without anyone else's influence.

So... hi!

Hello and welcome Angela! Doing it for yourself is KEY! Take each day, one day at a time. You can do this!

Hi! I'm new here too! I'm Joy, 37 and weigh 192 lbs. I need all the support I can get!! I'm trying really hard but I don't seem to make much progress.

Hey! I've had the same problem, over the years I've lost weight for two weeks and gained back more and more each time. THIS time thats not going to happen, and I'm sure you will manage to do the same!

Welcome! You will do great if you set your mind to it. Coming here is a great start... the people here are really supportive, motivating, and know exactly what you are going through. Hope to see you around!
