Hi all, I'm Laura. I have a significant! amount of weight to lose, and hope to find lots of support and encouragement here. While I have been overweight for years, this is really the first time that I have felt "ready" to make the changes I need to make. I look forward to meeting you all and taking this journey with you. Thanks for reading!

Good luck on your Journey Laura. It took me getting up to 456 pounds and 44 years before I finally said this is it.

As you can see.... it can be done. You just have to stay focused and keep your eye on the end prize!

Default Thank you for the warm welcomes!

Borgie, I read some of your blog and am really inspired by you. Misti, I will plan on visiting the accountability thread often. Every single bit of inspiration/commiseration/positive mind set helps a lot!

Welcome Laura! I am fairly new here but this is a great community of people to be a part of, and you will find tons of support, advice, and encouragement. One thing I really like so far is taking part in some of the challenges or accountabilities threads. It helps me to see other people going through similar struggles and triumphs as well.
