I need help. I mean, I am desperate to gain control of myself. I found this website today so I thought I'd give it a shot. I don't know anyone on here so if you want to send me a few words of encouragement-Thank you!

Hi amy! Welcome to the site. There are several forums that may help you. Are you on any specific eating plan? If so there are forums that are specific for weight watchers, LA weight loss, South Beach Diet etc. There are also forums by age and by starting weight. Hope to see you around! Come back often for motivation & Encouragement!

, Amy!! I'm Aidyn and it is nice to e-meet you!

I suggest you look at the Chicks in Control forum, as well as Weight Loss Support.

If you need something uplifting, read the stories in the Goal category and see the photos in the Goal Photo Album. It is amazing what so many once overweight (and in my case, overweight and frumpy!) people have transformed themselves into.

Amy - you CAN do this! Really! If this 50+ chickie can, you can too!

I look forward to reading your posts! Come back often

Good job Amy for reaching out! Hope to see more of you around here!

Welcome, Amy! I'm glad you're here.

Hi Amy!

Also, try the "Chicks up for a challenge" subforum!

You can find all kinds of different challenges that will help you.....there is a 5 pound challenge where you sign up and report your weight and the first person to lose 5 pounds wins and gets to start the next challenge.....there are food challenges....exercise challenges....all kinds of motivational challenges you can participate in.....

Not to mention all the different support groups!
