Welcome Julie... It's so wonderful to see others we can relate to! I feel like yo yo dieting is a common challenge and a common goal that many of us are trying to overcome as a group; I don't feel alone anymore
I have lost 30 pounds. 10 pounds at a time so I wouldn't over-work my body. I can tell you I've never been more proud of myself. I don't think I've ever reached such a big goal in my life.
Sometimes all it takes is losing the first 10 pounds. Those 10 pounds can become your inspiration and motivation to lose the next 10 pounds so on and so forth.
But either way congrats on making the first step of signing up for this site. Sometimes that little extra support can do wonders.
