Hello -

I'm looking forward to hearing from a community of people who share the same fight, and who are making some headway with it.

Although I've thought about my weight or my diet every single day for the last thirty-three years (I'm 43 - almost 44), I've spent the last twelve years stuck at just over or just under 200 pounds, and I'm tired of it.

But - I don't know where to go from here without motivation and practical advice from others who have depended on food for emotional support in the past... So thanks for the help in advance.

Boy, if there is one thing you can find here, its motivation and practical advice! Thats what we're here for.

For the most basic of motivations, I suggest looking at the Mini-Goal and Goal Photo Albums. There is your proof that you absolutely positively CAN do this.

In terms of advice - post questions! Jump on into threads! Use the "Search" feature to see if something has been discussed before. There is so much information here to be shared.

I look forward to seeing more posts from you soon!
