Hi Nicki!

This is a very safe place for your journey. Everyone here is extremely nice, supportive, and encouraging, because we know what it's like to struggle with weight, and we not only want the best for ourselves, we want the best for each other. So I'm glad you've joined us!

In a few days, the monthly weight loss and exercise challenge threads for January are going to be starting up in the sub-forum "Chicks Up for a Challenge" under Support Groups. Those threads, especially the weight loss one, is very active and very supportive, and they are great for motivation and accountability. Feel free to come join us! Newbies are always welcome! Good luck! You can do this!
