Hi there, I'm new...
 

Just joined today :carrot:
Current Weight: approx 240
Goal Weight: 135
Timeframe: 13 months (Goal Date: 9/27/2014 - my 30th birthday)
Height 5' 3"

I want to start a new lifestyle not just lose weight. According to the BMI I am not even on the chart (very obese)

I have absolutely zero support as my boyfriend does not believe in me and I live far from family and friends.

I joined a similar forum (pregnancy.org) when pregnant with my first and decided to try this for support, tips, advise, etc.

I'd really welcome any input and hope to be helpful as well.

Also I am starting the Fat Smash Diet Phase I soon. I was directed to this site because I was looking for recipes for the diet.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi Naomi! :welcome: So glad you joined! Check out the "Chicks Up for a Challenge" sub-forum under "Support Groups." The threads in that sub-forum are usually quite active and you'll get lots of support! Good luck!

Nice to meet you! and welcome, you can do this.. I just joined not long ago and am loving the site..

Hi Naomi! Welcome! :welcome2:

I think you will really like this website. I am very sorry that you don't have people around you to support you but you will get a lot of support here.

I am a member of weight watchers, and I find this forum to be more helpful than the WW meetings.

I am starting over again after failing many times and I try really hard not to beat myself up. I have a long way to go, but I am going to be calm and patient through this process. Always remember that you are not alone in this.

Best wishes to you on your new journey!

HELLLOOOO Naomi...nice to meet you. WELCOME....I added you to my buddy list...PM me sometime...we can motivate each other! I Just joined this site too!

Thank you all! I already feel very welcomed. Look forward to losing weight together!!

Will do! Thank you!! I don't think I can PM as of yet though, I think I have to be on the site for some time and have a certain number of posts. As soon as I can I will. I'll add you as well. Look forward to it. Thanks again!!
