A confession- I have been lurking in the shadows of this forum for about 12 pounds now

I began this journey almost 3 weeks ago and I have lost 12 pounds so far, and hope to turn that into 100 pounds by the time I turn 30 ( Spring 2012 ). All of you are doing such an amazing job and are so supportive, I am really excited to have found this website and support group in particular.

Take care all! I am headed to Day 2 of the gym. Wish me luck!

Welcome! Congrats on your success so far.

I had a backwards slide myself and am recommitting today. I'm sure from your lurking you've already seen what a great place this is for support. If you feel yourself slipping, don't do what I did, which was stop coming here. Make sure you look for support and inspiration here, you will definitely find it.

Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Welcome! 12 pounds in 3 weeks is great, nice going Enjoy your gym time!

Thanks all! You are the best

Wow - 12# in 3 weeks. Good job! Have fun at the gym.

Twelve pounds of lurking, huh? I hear they come off faster out of lurk mode. (Just kidding)

Welcome! I'm very glad you found us. This is an amazing group of folks. I've joined and participated in all sorts of weight-loss boards, and I always end up back here.
