a few months ago, i posted an intro in the main forum, but then life happened, (long story) and i disappeared for a few months, but here i am again - determined to shed (more than) a few pounds and get healthy. i finally gave in and ordered a scale the other day. yikes! i've been avoiding it for so long that i really don't know how much i weigh and i'm scared to know, but i know that someday, when i've lost a bunch, it will be nice to see how far i've come. Right now i'm just gonna stick with little goals. it's a lot less daunting than the big picture at the moment.
I hopped on the South Beach bandwagon today, and have been keeping a food/activity journal for a while now so i'm thinking the more people i have to be accountable to - the higher my chances for success. So along with my friends and family, what better support than a bunch of people in the same boat headed the same direction as me. I've been reading a lot of stuff in the forums and this just seems like such a great supportive community. I've found lots of helpful stuff already.
so, that's it for now, just wanted to say hi and i look forward to meeting you.
