Intro
 

Hi, my name is Doris and I have been on the gaining/losing streak for most of my life. I am really sick and tired of the ups and downs and at my age, the gains are much greater than the losses. So I figure I will try something where I can get some much needed support. My biggest problems are: boredom eating, eating after work ( i work til 8pm), and a non-supportive husband (who buys stuff I shouldn't eat). I have about 45 lbs to lose over the next 5-6 months. Hoping for a change of lifestyle instead of a diet.
Thanks for listening.

Welcome! Glad to have you join in. I have found this to be the right place to find the encouragement and motivation I need to succeed in my weight loss goals. I have been here before and lost the weight only to gain it back following three abdominal surgeries. That is why I am back again, once again succeeding, along with the others here. You will succeed too if you just stick to your plans. I find making mini goals helps a lot too, and the challenges make losing the weight more fun IMHO.
