one day at a time..
 

My name is Vicki, and this is my first day here. I decided to join here because I'm really wanting to lose weight, and have found I need more support than what I have. My husband wants to lose weight as well.. so he can be supportive to an extent.

I'm 25 years old. A big thing that I find difficult to deal with was that I had always been a little overweight all my life. During college I dropped weight and finally hit a "perfect" weight for me. Then, due to medication I had to take, I gained it all back and more. I have a hard time with that now as I find the weight realllly hard to lose, and realllly easy to gain. It's nice seeing others in similar situations. :)

Welcome, Vicki! You've come to a great place for support!

Hi Vicki! :welcome: It sounds like you are no longer on the meds that caused you to regain the weight, and although I know it feels pretty impossible to take the weight off, you can do it! It's going to take patience and discipline and determination, but you are going to be so happy that you did this! Browse around the site and get involved as much as possible. Be sure to check out the success stories, because that's where you're headed! You (and your hubby) CAN do this! Good luck!
