First of all I want to say Hi to everyone. I have about 25 to 30 pounds to lose. I have been reading through all the forums and am trying to find a great group to join. I really need the motivation. I just cannot seem to lose any weight. It just seems to stay with me. I really love going through the picture links and seeing how different people look after their continued weight loss. It is so motivating. Well hopefully I can meet a few nice people here that can keep me motivated as well. Thanks so much. Sharon

Hi Sharonlee,

I am new here but I can totally relate to your difficulty in losing weight. I am the same way. It sometimes feels like everyone else has no problem losing weight, just maintaining. I am the opposite - fairly good at maintaining but it is just so hard to lose any weight. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let you know you are not alone!

New here, too! I've got a lot farther to go than you girls, but I do best when I really limit the carbs. At 51 -- I guess NOW is the time to limit those carbs!! I think I will head mostly to SBD, but just wanted to say that everyone here really seems to understand the struggle! Wishing you success on the journey!
