Allow me to introduce myself...
Hello everyone - I'm so glad I found this board! I'm fat, female and 55. I am retired and live in the central part of the U.S. I have fought my weight since I was 9 or 10 years old and have gone up and down the scale. Right now, I am at my heaviest weight ever. Through the years, I think I've bought or borrowed every diet book on the market. I would like to lose right at 100 pounds which would put me at 170. I am 5'7", so think that would be a good target, at least for now. I haven't been in "One-derland" since 2002, so think that would be my most thrilling dieting milestone. I hope to spend a lot of time at this board and get to know you all. Though I've posted at a couple of message boards in the past, they had nothing to do with dieting/weight loss, so this will be a brand new experience for me!

Welcome! You are not alone here. That's why we're here to support one another. Stay tuned for encouragement on the board. I remember growing up hearing, "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again." Meaning, "You CAN DO IT!" Just stick to it. Never, never, never give up!
One day at a time. We're here for you! |
Welcome...Good luck with your efforts!!

Thank you CruiseChick and Liliann. :)

I am originally from Wisconsin. I have always experienced the Midwest folks to be very friendly and easy to get to know.
I think that's great that you were able to retire already. My goal is to get to next February.... at least... then I will have achieved 20 years in our retirement system here. I may stay up to an extra 1.5 years, but we'll see how things go. What diet plan are you using? |
