Hello everyone,

My name is Malissa and I was here once before but I guess I started doubting myself and stopped coming. It's been a long and hard road for me all my life. I've struggled with my weight since I was about 10 years old and it's starting to really upset me. I look at my two little ones and think I'll never see grandkids and I'll never even see them grow up. I'm 230 lbs now and only 5'2" tall. I feel like crap all the time, I'm always tired. I just feel generally icky. I don't want to feel this way anymore! So I've decided I'm going to try again. I hope you'll all forgive me for leaving. I really hope I can do better this time.

Hey Malissa -

You might want to check out our 100 lb club forum, for those on their way to losing or who have lost 100 lbs or more. We also have forums by eating plan and age group, so you're sure to find a spot (or many) where you fit right in. And since you were here before, you hopefully remember your way around.

Can't wait to get to know you better!

Welcome back! I am new, but I am inspired by people like you who come back to help take care of themselves. =]

Hi and welcome back!
