Hi there,
I visited the boards here several times over the years but am officially becoming active just now. I've struggled with my weight over the years. I have dropped pounds now and kept it of for 5 years now. I would like to lose the last 10 pounds, started experimenting and struggle with sticking to a particular plan and decided that I wanted to tailor my eating plan so as not to feel so limited and work more on the behavioral aspect of my emotional eating transforming yourself totally; mentally, physically and emotionally. In this way I will be a totally different person when I get to my goals and will never go back again. I'm really excited to be here this looks like a great supportive forum.

Hello fellow newbie.

I too joined recently after visiting for inspiration and motivation.

Congratulations on losing and keeping the weight off. The last few lbs i hear are some of the hardest to drop, but if you fight through it, it will eventually happen.

From the little time i have been on here, it seems to be very supportive. I believe that is because everyone is going through similar struggles and know how it feels to want support.

welcome ladies! uve come to the rite place! and an awesome place it is! and questions, ranting, venting n cheering r all welcome n completely understandable! lol

Yeah Vincentius, when it comes to those last lbs one has to really have to be determined. I have been on it for a couple of years now. I would get there be happy stay there for a while and then the pounds just packs up again. Now I am taking a different approach and hope this time it will be for good. Thanks for the motivation please do keep in touch
