hi everyone. just joined today. ironically i found this site by accident, but glad that i did. i'm 24, married for about a year and a half, have cats and go to school part time and work part time. i'd like to lose 40-50 pounds. last year i lost 20 and gained it all back, guess i need some one to encourage. some one who is going through it too. my husband is great, but can't possibly understand seeing how he's about 140 pounds soaking wet. . wish you all good luck, i know it's hard. hope to talk soon.

Hey! I'm new too. Would love to buddy up. I love your sig, the Floyd is my favorite band.

I love Floyd too. so calm and beautiful. wish i could have it in the background all the time, maybe i wouldn't be such an angry person how long have you been on your current diet? I haven't officially started yet. i know i need to get going on it, but the kind of person i am, i know that i have to hit that point where i can't take it anymore, then i'll be ready. make any sense at all?

Hey Rosie Welcome to the boards!! You'll be able to find support and motivation here NO problem!! hehe If you ever want to talk.. don't hesitate to talk to me I'll be here!

I've been on this since November 30th. I know what you mean about hitting the point where you can't take it anymore. That's exactly what I did. I had a sneaking suspicion for awhile that I'd hit an all time high with my weight, but stepping on the scale and confirming it was just a slap in the face. Plus, a lot of things just happened right around the same time that made me realize I couldn't carry on this way. I'm off to town for now, hopefully we can talk more later.
