Hi all.

Decided to make an account here after browsing for a few days and feeling inspired by the posters and information.

My most recent attempt to lose weight has been going well: I have been 'at it' for 30 days, and have lost 19lb so far, which is very encouraging. I have about 90lb left to lose, though, so definitely want some help staying accountable and staying on track.

Problems with weight started in early 20s, not living a healthy lifestyle at university and then being in a miserable relationship and comfort eating... used to be a very athletic teenager, but can hardly remember that girl. Need to find her.

This is a big year for me... turning 30, buying a house with my partner, and changing jobs (I am in education). Seems like I enjoy doing everything at once! Some people like the pressure

Thanks for all your inspiration so far.

Hello Great job on your 19 Lbs loss so far!! with your continue efforts!!

congrats and welcome! Keep on going you rock!

Welcome! And wow, 19lbs in 30 days is great. I'm sure you're feeling amazing!

I don't know your height but it appears we have very similar stats/goals weight-wise! It's always fun to see people in the same place.

Good luck! See you around!

Thank you, everyone


Yes, I'm about 5'7 - 5'8 as well. Reassuring to know others are on pretty much the same road/this CAN be done... will see you on the boards!
