Greetings and Salutations.

  • A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this place a while back. After hitting a weight loss plateau, I decided to just suck it up and go somewhere where others are experiencing the same things I am. After I got married, I started gaining weight. I think part of it was that I had married a military man, and had moved to a place where I knew no one. So as a lot of people know, depression can sometimes lead to serious eating. I ballooned up to an amazing 260 lbs. I am only 5'4 so you can imagine the toll it took on my body. I am now a type II diabetic and have been for two years. In those two years, I have tried so many diets. I ended up losing 50 lbs.

    But now, I am stuck. I have been 210 lbs for the last seven months. So I figure I need all the advice and encouragement anyone can give me.

    So I wanted to say hello to all here. I hope to make some new friends and gain some motivation.

    Much Love,
    Tracey
  • Hey Tracey!

    Glad to see you here. Please feel free to look around, post where you like, start a thread if you have questions or problems.

    You don't say what program, if any, you were following to lose your 50 pounds. That is GREAT, by the way! And good for you for maintaining your loss!

    So, look around--we have forums for just about any food plan, or even non-plans!

    Good luck,
    Jay
