Hello All!
 

Hi All!
I read about this site in a magazine and I thought--why not give it a try. I have been battling my weight for many years. I have been fighting it alone and I really need some help.

I am 36 and I have packed on the weight the old fashioned way--eating. Anyway, I am not sure what I'm supposed to say, but I am ready to lose weight and get healthier. I am tired of being tired. I am tired of being winded. I am tired of worrying about high blood pressure, my aching knees or other diseases associated with my weight gain. Okay, I'll stop now..

Welcome! :) Good luck with your weight loss efforts.. You can do it!!

Thanks for the welcome Lilliann.

Hi and welcome!
Being sick and tired of it all is a symptom of being ready to get at it!
Tell us a little more about you. What would you like to eat and what would you like to do for increased activity?

Welcome in! Surf around the board and see which plan you feel comfortable with. Many of us use different plans, or even modified versions of different plans. You're sure to find one that fits!

I can so relate to what you're saying about the health issues! I'm in the same boat. I want to get off this medication so I don't to have to spend so much. I have too much of an addiction to yarn and cross stitching to spend so much on medication!!!

Which magazine did you see this website? I found it in First Magazine. You know - the one with the headline on the front saying "Drop 43 Pounds by Christmas". Of course this headline is right below the picture of the chocolate cake! Yeah, the one with 548 cals per serving!! Because of this, I don't buy too many women's magazines (talk about mixed messages!) but I'm glad I bought this one and found the fat chicks!!

You'll get a lot of great support here!
