i've been on here before, but left, and now i'm back! i started out at about 190lbs march 2007. i've been at my previous goal weight of 160 for about a year. i would really like to reach my new goal weight of 129 by the end of feb, 2010. i know the holiday's are a challenge for everyone, and i'm here to take on that challenge with y'all.
also, i wondered if there are any clothes exchanges in the alternachicks section? i haven't gone over there yet, and i have to leave for work now.
Hi beerdrinker - welcome back!
Glad to have you back with us! As you know, there are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained - just jump back in!!
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a short time, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.
So welcome - you 're back at the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
