Red face The Weight is Over...
This isn't the first time I've become a member of this site.. the last time was probably about 6 years ago.. I lost a portion of the weight back then.. but now I'm right back to where I started... only heavier. I've tried the pills, the fad diets, "quick-fixes", the excuses.. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. I've let weight control my life.. I always wanted to be a majorette in the high school band.. I wanted to go out with friends to the bars and have fun.. I wanted to wear cute beach dresses.. I wanted to feel good about myself.. inside & out, be confident in who I was.. but I wasn't. Now in just over 1 year, I will be marrying my best friend and I REFUSE to let this weight hold me back from feeling absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day.. So here I am.. hoping the encouragement of the wonderful people on this site can help get me through this once again.. I need to surround myself with healthy thoughts, healthy food and healthy people.

Half the battle is to make up your mind to do something about your weight...and you are doing that...so congrats on coming to the realization that you need to get started. If you are looking for a thread with a challenge to lose, there is one that started today, and it's a Christmas challenge which is weighing in on Mondays. Join us there!!! Good luck to you and congrats on your pending nuptuals!!!

I'd let you know where the Christmas challenge is... but I can't find it either! I do know you can head to the main forum and there is a sub-forum under Support Groups which is called "Chicks up for a Challenge"... that may be a good place for you to start!

Welcome, and good luck!

Hmm... maybe, unless someone else can point it out for both of us, you'll be able to find another challenge there that may suit you? I'll keep looking around though!
