What's up my fluffy friends! So I need to lose weight, and I'm guessing that is why we're all here. I started "eating healthier" about a week ago, and I've lost 3 pounds so far. I say "eating healthier" because when I say I am on a diet I never stick to it, so as long as I just choose wiser and stop eating fast food I seem to do okay! I am in it for the long haul this time and I am ready to shed the weight. SERIOUSLY! (How many times have I said that? lol)

Anyone from Seattle? Make sure to say hello if so!

Hello and welcome! I am not from Seattle, but from WA at least! I live on the East side in Walla Walla. Have been a member on the board here for a while and love it! The girls here totally keep me motivated and have so much knowledge to share.
Good luck on your journey and hope to see you around more!

welcome to the boards!!! congrats on making the steps to a healthier lifestyle! i'm not from seattle, but i'm currently living in this very gray place (although it was nice to see the sun today!!!).
this is a great forum, definitely peruse around- there is a wealth of info here, as well as wonderful people ready to motivate, give recipes, pearls of wisdom, and offer a ear to listen
good luck!

Thanks guys!

What gets you motivated??

I think as soon as my clothes start fitting better and my face thins out a little bit I will start being super motivated. But until then...just getting on the scale and seeing a slightly smaller number always helps. I have diabetes and my blood sugar is actually at a healthy range for once in the past 3 years.

Good luck to you all!!
