I'm trying to find the right forum. I hope this is it, lol
One was rude and the other, well, I guess they were people that had been on there a while. Not real sociable to newbs unless asked a question outright. I was pretty much alone in cyberspace, lol

I will add more since I'm too new for signature.

I started off at 180, am down to 171 after 5 weeks. I had some ups and downs. I hope I have it under control now. I use South Beach food list as a starter, but, I don't follow any plan. Just watching Carb intake.

Hi Texasgirl! Welcome to the site! Sometimes you just have to go from forum to forum to find a group that you like. You'll get the hang of it. Just keep posting and you'll find that replying to posts and hearing others' ups and downs will motivate you to keep going strong. I'm from Tx too.

Good luck with your efforts!! YOU can do this!!

Thank you!
