Hello everyone, I am not new to dieting, however I am to "Changing my LifeStyle". I need some support and motivation from friends in my situation. I am very unhappy with me and the amount of weight I have allowed myself to put on. Any ideas on my journey will be appreciated. A little about me: I am 32 and happily married for almost 12 years to an awesome man. We have 3 kids, 15,10 and 8 years old.

Hey,

You've come to a wonderful place. You're among great company. Everybody on here is so helpful and supportive. We'll all reach our goals. One pound at a time.

Hey AHealthyNewMe - I'm so glad you've found us!

We have a lot of forums here...by age range like the 30-somethings, by amount to lose, and by eating plan...and a whole lot of small groups, challenges, and other areas that will help you with advice! Find a spot or many, jump on in, and get posting.

I'm so glad you've found us...can't wait to get to know you better!

Hi AHealthyNewMe!
Hey, it happens - no looking back, no beating yourself up, just moving forward - how smart to make health your priority and not a diet or a number - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs.

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 few months myself, 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
