I just found this forum, and today is the first day of my weight loss program.
I am reading Jorge's book, 8 Minutes in the Morning. Sad to say, I realized that I don't have 7 friends to share my weight loss goals with! I have only been living in GA for about a year, and don't know anyone outside of work.

So, I am hoping to use this forum in place of that.

I am a 52 year old librarian. I am 5' 8" and currently weigh 225. My goal is to lose 50 lbs by Christmas.

This is an exceptional place for support. Welcome to the community.

Hi!!! You've come to the right place for support and friendship! Just jump right in in posting and reading posts and soon you'll have many more than 7 friends here! You'll have a whole community!

Thankyou so much! The support is so important. I am really serious about getting healthy. Like so many others, I have tried before, and failed.

Hi and

Congratulations on taking the first steps toward your healthy new lifestyle!
