Default Took the first step...
... and joined ww today. I'm prepared for a long, tough journey ahead as I have a lot to lose, however I have a 15 month old little girl motivating me to get healthy (and a pretty awesome husband too). I've been browsing the forum for a few days and I'm just so amazed at the level of knowledge and support from all members, so I just wanted to pop in and introduce myself and say hi

Hello and

Taking the first step is major - now keep moving forward. Don't look at the long road ahead if that's too daunting, focus on a mini-goal (like 5% or 10% weight loss) and then celebrate when you achieve it! And then make another.

You can do this!

I *want* to have a little girl, so that's MY motivation too! LOL!

I turn 40 this year, with a complicated medical history, so I'd be a high risk pregnancy to start with. If I don't lose this weight first - to a reasonable level - it'll be even worse.
