This site is really fantastic! I have NEVER been small or even slim and as I edge nearer to 40 I know that now is the time to get rid of this weight.

I am really looking forward to reading the different sections and getting lots of hints and tips along the way as well as sharing my ups and hopefully lots of downs (weight that is!)

:-)

EDIT: Although my join date is back in 2009, I never had the willpower or desire to stay and get rid of the weight. So even though it is from way back then, I didn't hand around :-( My loss!

Well, welcome back! Glad to have you with us!

Cheezels, welcome, glad to have you re-join us. I suggest you look for a Challenge or Support group to join; small check-in groups make it easier to connect, get involved, and be accountable. We have groups centering around specific diets, themes, or age groups, find one that inspires you and just post to join! Be sure to check out the 30 or 40-something forums, whichever you feel more comfortable with!
