  • Hi!
    I am new here too. I have also struggled with my weight all my life. I was at 275 and got down to 175. I am now at 182 and want to aim for 165. I can relate to what you shared. I hate diets. They never work and I really resent being told what I can and can't eat. I finallly lost the weight on the Weigh Down Workshop program. It is a Christian program that taught me to eat when I am hungry (anything ) and stop when I am satisfied. I now go to God instead of food with my feelings. But I really need some accountability so I joined this. I am hoping to find some woman who can help. Good luck to you..

  • Welcome!
    You done an awesome job so far! What an inspiration! I am part of the thread "1 year / 100lb. buddy" We're all struggling to even get to the point where you are, when we have 70-80lbs left to go. Seeing that you have had success in your journey is great motivation. If you like to come give us a visit, feel free, I'm sure a lot of the ladies would get a lot inspiration from you.

    All the best to you with your journey!
