I tend to lurk on this board and never post. Today I decided since I'm still fighting this battle, that I would become an active part of this board. I am more determined due to some health issues to get this weight off once and for all. Started walking on the treadmill yesterday and eating right. I know I'll definitely need some support as I tend to do well for a short time and then slip. My slips end up lasting weeks to months.

Hi Lisa - Glad you decided to start posting! Participating here is a great way to stay on track. Good luck and keep us updated on how you are doing.

Lisa -

definitely post - everyone is here to support each other, but you have to post so we can support you! lol!

Great that you are making this commitment to yourself, and know you have a place to come when you need some help and support.

Glad you've started posting! This is the right place for accountability and support. I look foward to reading your future posts!

It's wonderful that you will be posting now! I think you will find it quite helpful.

Hi Lisa! Nice to meet you.

Lisa, I am glad you decided to post! I post at times and lurk at times and usually am more on track when I post. Besides, the lurkers need something to read!

Looking forward to getting to know you.

This is a great place for support, it has helped me so much.

Hiya, Lisa! Glad you've decided to come out of lurking! I'm sortof new here, as well. And I'm right there with you... my "slips" or "breaks" start out small, then they get longer and longer... until I'm off-plan for months at a time. It's a terrible cycle and a hard one to break.

You're doing great already, though! 18lbs down, woohoo!

Welcome! This place is a great place to find support and all types of information. I didn't even realize how much I appreciated this forum until I was stuck in bed last week sick and without my 3FC friends. It's a wonderful place with great people! Congrats on your 18 pound loss already!

Hi and welcome!!

Just wanted to say thanks for the great welcome

Glad you are posting!
