Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forums and joining because I've been trying to lose weight, but haven't been consistent. I weigh about 268. I do try to eat fairly healthy, but I probably eat too much ice cream and if I buy bbq chips I'll eat a whole bag in a couple days. I have been doing zumba and I enjoy it and would like to stick with it along with some kind of strength training. I lost a lot of weight when I was 23-25 years old (about 80-100 lbs) but didn't keep it off. Anyway, I'm looking forward to sharing with you all.

Indeed we are all in it together! Here's some friendly advice, based on what I did when I joined:
*Decide on a diet, whether it be weight watchers or calorie counting.
*Keep a log of what you've eaten and what the food is worth point-wise or calorie-wise.
*Find some good threads that motivate you. I recommend the goal and mini-goal threads
*Post a few responses so you can meet the post requirement and get your signature in a few weeks. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for mine!
*Decide on a healthy and reasonable goal weight.
*Have fun, and when you're not having fun, get the support you need to feel better. Everyone here is awesome and there's no judging. Keep going sister!
